Photocopy – General Policy

Photocopying decisions are made on a case by case basis by CAH staff. There is no guarantee that all CAH Collections are available for photocopying. The CAH will photocopy no item if there is a chance of damaging that item. The CAH reserves the right to limit the size of orders.

All requests for the photocopying of Center materials are subject to the approval of the Center staff. The CAH reserves the right to refuse to process some orders.

Illegible and incomplete pink PHOTOCOPY WORKSHEET forms will result in cancellation of photocopy orders. Please print legibly and fill out forms completely.

Staffing constraints prevent the Center's staff from undertaking research for patrons, including locating and/or evaluating content for photocopying. If you are unable to visit in person to conduct your research and to flag exactly what materials you want copied, and your copy request is deemed either too vague or too specific for us to take on, you will be directed to a list of proxy researchers.

We are also unable to do exact page counts before processing orders. If you have a limit on how much you are willing to spend, inform us before you place your order and we will copy up until that point, taking into account local sales taxes and handling fees.

Orders will be handled in the order in which they were received, with the exception of large orders (250+ pages), which will be worked on steadily as time and smaller orders allow.

Turnaround time for photocopy, photograph, and microfilm orders varies considerably, depending upon the volume of orders being placed. Any processing times given are approximate from date of receipt, and do not include shipping time.

Patrons will be contacted when their order has been completed and is ready for pick up. Otherwise, orders will be mailed without notification.

When self-service photocopying is available, please note that the public photocopiers and microfilm reader-printers in the Center do not accept cash. UT Copycards are available for purchase at the Center.
