Order Photographs & Scans

 

 

What materials can be reproduced?

Materials in the collection including books, manuscripts, archival documents, photographs, maps, architectural drawings, and ephemera may be reproduced in either digital or print format. The availability of reproductions is subject to the materials' size, condition, and copyright restrictions. Requests for reproductions may be denied if such work would damage the materials to be copied.

 

How do I place a digital or photographic reproduction request?

If you are ordering prints or scans and you already have the order number, negative number, or identification number of the images to be reproduced, then you just need to print out a copy of the Reproduction Request Form, fill it out (be sure to sign it) and either fax it or email it or mail it to us. You can also bring your completed form to Special Collections directly during our open hours. Many patrons use our Digital Collections to identify items of interest.

Note: Because a signature is required before your order can be processed, we are unable to take reproduction requests for photographic prints and scans over the phone. For further information about ordering or using images, please contact us at photos@u.washington.edu or (206) 543-1929. Otherwise, you are welcome to come here and research our materials.

Orders may by picked up at the CSS Photography Lab in the basement of Kane Hall on the UW campus, or you may have them mailed directly from the lab. There are fees for shipping and handling. You may check on your order or inquire about mailing charges by calling the lab at 206-685-6653 or emailing photos@u.washington.edu.

For oversize materials, costs vary according to the size of the original, and the desired copy. See the Reproduction Price List for current prices and use the Reproduction Request Form for Oversized Materials. (Turn around time is dependant on the condition of the original and whether stabilization is required first.) These orders are picked up at the Special Collections Reception Desk or you can select to have them mailed.

Special Collections reserves the right to deny a reproduction request if doing so would damage the original.

 

How long does it take and how much does it cost?

Standard Orders (up to 20 images) will take three weeks to complete. During summer quarter and interim periods, it may take as long as four to six weeks. Expedited service may be available for an additional fee depending on current staffing and workloads. Email photos@u.washington.edu to discuss availability of expedited service and fees.

Large Orders (more than 20 images) will take longer to complete depending on staffing levels and current workload. If you have a time constraint, you should email photos@u.washington.edu well ahead of your deadline to see if your order can be accommodated. Prepayment may be required.

Some orders may require a special handling fee. See our price list for current prices.

Can I use images from Special Collections for publication or other projects?

Once you have ordered a print or scan, you cannot use it for anything other than classroom use, student projects, personal display, or research without requesting formal permission. In most cases, licensing fees for publication or service charges will apply in addition to reproduction costs. To request permission to use Special Collections images you will need to submit a Permission for Use Form.

For further information about ordering or using images, please contact us at photos@u.washington.edu or by phone at (206) 543-1929.
