Copies + Permissions
The Peace Collection provides reproduction services for documents, but not for images or audiovisual recordings.
Obtaining Photocopies
Contact the Peace Collection with your request for photocopies or low-resolution scanned images from our manuscript collections, books, and periodicals. Some items may be too rare or fragile to be copied or scanned.
- Cost is 40 cents per page, with a minimum charge of $5.
- There is a limit of 35 copies, and you will be charged for postage.
On-site researchers may use their own digital cameras or flat-bed scanners to scan material at no charge, or may alternatively use the Collection photocopier for the following fees (cash, personal checks, or traveler’s checks in U.S. dollars accepted):
- 15 cents per copy for 8.5" x 10" paper
- 25 cents per copy for 8.5" x 14" paper
- 30 cents per copy for 11" x 17" paper
