Fee Structure for Duplications and Services

Materials from the Archives' collections may be duplicated for use in research and publication. Although the Archives does not generally charge fees for using material, costs for duplication are recovered through the fees listed below.

Paper Duplications
Standard Photocopies $0.20 each
Microfilm copies $0.30 each
Note: Requests for larger amounts of paper duplications (50 pages or more) will include a $5.00 per hour service charge.

Prints of Photographic Images
8.5x11 Prints of photograph images $7.00 each
11 x 17 Prints of photograph images $9.00 each
Notes: Prints of photograph images are produced on photo-quality paper using a Canon i9900 printer. The archives makes no guarantees on the longevity of print images.

Digital Scans
Digital Scan, TIFF format image, 600 dpi, 4000 pixels on longer edge (approx. 10-15 megabyte per file) $5.00 each
Compact Disk (holds approximately 40 images) $1.00 each

The Archives maintains a digital archives collection online at digarch.lib.mtu.edu.  From this site, visitors can download low-resolution images directly from our site, using the righthand button on their mouse. We require users to retain the embedded credit line which runs with each image.

The digital site also allows patrons to establish a profile and order high-resolution duplications from their online storage bin.  E-mail Archives' staff at copper@mtu.edu for further information.

Wide Format Duplications (oversize maps, blueprints, etc.)
Wide Format Black & White Photocopy $6.00 each
Wide Format Color Print $12.00 each
Digital Scan, TIFF format image (specific sizes vary by original) $7.00 each
Note: Requests for wide format duplications will include a $10.00 per order service fee.

Additional Fees and Charges (per order)
6% Michigan sales tax
(Will be waived with Michigan tax exempt identification number)
$5.00 flat fee for shipping
(we do not e-mail or FTP images)
(additional charges for shipping of wide format materials, unless patron supplies UPS/FedEx shipper #)
Rush Fee -- Most orders require 7-10 business days to process. A "rush fee" is available at double the order cost (48-hour turnaround to shipping)

Patrons will be required to sign and return our standard photographic agreement form which stipulates your one-time use for these images and provides correct credit lines for use in publication. While many patrons initially request images for "personal research," patrons are required to request permission for any subsequent publication in advance of such use. Subsequent use of images is only allowed with the completion of a separate photographic agreement. Images are not to be copied or shared under any circumstances. Patrons are legally liable for any misuse of the digital images once they are provided.
