How can I get scans of Special Collections materials?
Special Collections provides scans of our materials based on structured fees listed below.
Please be aware of the following department policies when making a scan request:
- We reserve 4-6 weeks for orders to be completed. Special Collections staff try to finish scan requests as quickly as possible, but your patience is appreciated.
- There is a processing fee of $10.00 on all scan requests.
- RUSH orders incur an additional fee of $50.00. An order is RUSH when the patron wants delivery within 5 days of their itemized request.
- Patrons may request up to 200 pages from a single collection in a 6-month period. Additional scans may be requested 6 months after delivery of images.
- Scan requests do not constitute permission to publish materials. That is a separate process detailed below.
Patrons will receive an invoice itemizing all costs. Scanned images will not be sent to patrons until the invoice has been paid. The University of Tulsa payment portal accepts credit cards. We can only accept personal checks from banks based in the United States. Patrons outside the United States may pay by international money order. These are payable to The University of Tulsa.
All fees for duplication of Special Collections materials are subject to change without notice. All duplication requests are subject to copyright restrictions.
If paying by check, please mail to:
Department of Special Collections and University Archives McFarlin Library, The University of Tulsa 2933 E 6th St. Tulsa, OK 74104
Orders will not be processed until payment is received.
