Photocopying

We offer 2 different copying services:

  • Tier 1: Items are photographed by our specialist digitisation team for high quality images.
  • Tier 2: Items are photographed by search room staff for research quality images.

You can request copies be made for you using the form below. Please select the option 'Submit a Request for Copies'. You can order for research or publication purposes.

Items can be paid for online or via an invoice. More information on what orders are eligible for each tier, and our prices can be found here: Ordering copies - our services and charges (April 2024 onwards)

The format or type of material of the item you wish to be copied will determine if and how it may be copied, and the cost.

We will inform you of the final cost and take payment before undertaking the photography. Orders usually take about two weeks to complete.
