Digitization and Permissions

Digitization Requests
Registration with our Aeon is required in order to place digitization requests. Step-by-step instructions can be found on our Aeon instructions page.

Due to limited staff capacity, request response time may take 2-4 weeks.

We will provide reference-quality PDFs of clearly identified materials. We can take photographs on your behalf for 30 minutes (~100 pages) per quarter and there is no charge for the service. If you require hi-resolution images or the volume is beyond our capacity, we may recommend digitization by outsourced digitization services. Costs will be shared with you before proceeding.

For more in-depth research, we ask that you hire a proxy researcher.
