Obtaining copies

Copies can be made of many documents, depending on their physical condition and copyright regulations. We will not photocopy or scan documents that are fragile and may be damaged by copying. This includes large items and books. These may only be copied by digital photography.

You are allowed to take a limited number of your own photographs in the Reading Room with the permission of the archivist on duty. You will be asked not to use flash and to incorporate a copyright notice into the image. In most cases you will be required to sign a copyright form.
