 Photoduplication: Policies and Ordering InstructionsTo assist scholars in their research, the Library offers limited photoduplication services. To avoid damaging its materials, the Library will not photocopy bound books or manuscripts, but it will consider making microfilm-based reproductions depending upon the condition of the material. The Library will accept small orders for photocopies of individual unbound manuscripts in good condition. The Library will not photocopy whole works, photographs, or large numbers of manuscripts from a collection, but will make microfilm, copyflo (paper copies made from microfilm), or photographic reproductions. Some materials may be too fragile to be subjected to any duplication process. If no master negative exists, the price for reproductions will include the cost of making one. The negative becomes the property of the Library. All reproductions (of whatever nature) are provided for readers' individual scholarly use. In some cases, the Library may require the return of the copies when the need for their use has ended. Readers must identify and select all material for duplication. Please be aware that the Library can fill large or complex orders only as the demands of serving the Reading Room permit. A $25.00 fee will be added to any request requiring special handling. Any order that requires the staff to spend more than 30 minutes on bibliographic research or 60 minutes preparing the material for duplication will be subject to preparation fees of $25 per hour. For service to commercial users a separate fee may be applied. Advance payment by check, Visa, or MasterCard is required for all orders. Please make checks payable to the Beinecke Library and include our invoice number on the check and on all correspondence concerning this request. If additional payment is required, a bill will be sent with the shipment. Overseas customers paying by check must send payment in U.S. dollars drawn on a United States bank. The minimum charge for all domestic mail orders is $15.00 ($20.00 for overseas orders) which includes postage and insurance. All domestic mail is sent fourth class unless otherwise specified. All overseas mail is sent air mail printed matter, unless otherwise specified. The Library's sale of a reproduction does not imply an authorization to publish it. It is the reader's responsibility to obtain permission to publish texts and facsimiles from the owners of the copyright. WARNING CONCERNING COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproductions. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law. Photoduplication PricesMICROFILM

Sale of a photoduplication does not constitute an authorization to publish or reproduce it. Rules Governing the Use of ManuscriptsPermission to Examine. Permission to examine manuscripts will be granted to qualified scholars upon application. Permission is granted subject to whatever restrictions were placed on the manuscripts by donors or depositors. Protection of Manuscripts. Readers may take into the Reading Room only papers and books essential to their immediate research. Manuscripts must be handled with great care. The use of any kind of pen is prohibited. Manuscripts may not be leaned on, folded anew, traced, or handled in any way likely to damage them. The arrangement of pages must not be altered; no marks may be added or erased. In certain cases, scholars may be required to use microfilm or facsimiles of manuscripts. Please review the Reading Room Rules at the Public Services desk. Permission to Publish. Permission to examine manuscripts or sale of a photoduplication is not an authorization to publish. If the text or image in question is under copyright, permission to publish should be sought from the owners of the rights, typically the creator or the heirs to his or her estate. The Library may be able to assist in identifying the copyright holders. It is not necessary to seek the Library's permission to publish texts or images (unless the Library is identified as the copyright holder.) The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library should, however, be cited as the source. Photoduplication. To assist scholars in their research, the Library will consider requests for the photoduplication of manuscript material. All reproductions (of whatever nature) are provided for readers' individual scholarly use. Public Services Department Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library P.O.
