duplication policies

in order to maintain access to research materials as well as to honor copyright restrictions, blha has adopted the following policies in the case of duplication of material:

  • all materials will be copied or scanned by a staff member. materials do not circulate. the archives specialist will determine the best means of duplication. the archives specialist will decide if the material is too fragile to copy/scan. additional charges may apply for oversized items.
  • due to limited staffing, photocopies and scanning may not be available immediately. copying and scanning will be done when staff is available. copies and scans can then be picked up or sent by mail or e-mail.
  • no copying or scanning will be done in violation of the copyright law or donor restrictions there is a 30-page limit on copyrighted material.
  • the robert e. hooper archives at beaman library will copy/scan documents and images from collections with the understanding that these materials are intended for private use by the requester.
  • duplication is not an authorization to publish. your rights and obligations with respect to reproducing copyrighted material is governed by title 17 of the u.s. code. researchers must be aware of copyright and must assume full responsibility for clearing reproduction rights and for any infringement of copyright law. the university and its archive will be held blameless for the infringement of copyright or of publication rights by others due to deliberate or negligent misuse of the permission granted to examine or copy materials.
  • the use of personal cameras, scanners, or copy devices may be permitted depending upon feasibility and preservation considerations. prior permission of the staff is required.
  • any materials used in a publication or exhibition must use the following credit, "courtesy of the robert e. hooper archives at beaman library."
