Can I take photos of any material I am researching?
We do not allow scanners, cameras with detachable lenses, or photography equipment in the Reading Room due to the fragility of our materials. We allow non-flash photography of materials with the use of our watermark transparency sheet.
Please see our camera use policy in our guide on Reading Room and Access Policies.
We offer research-quality and publication-quality scans of documents and images for fees. Please see our scan fee schedule for more information.
