Requests should be made on the Photocopy Request Form. Your approved photocopy request will be completed when staff schedules permit. Very rarely can an order be completed on the same day. Copies will be mailed for a small postage fee. Alternately, a telephone call can be made indicating that the copies are ready to be picked up.
Copies cost twenty-five cents per page.
Payment must be made before the order is copied. Permission must be secured from Boston University to publish manuscripts which the University owns as well as those to which Boston University has literary copyright. Specific written request for the right to publish may be made on the application form provided, and scholars wishing to publish manuscripts from the Boston University collections are urged to make such application before proceeding with research and publishing plans. In those instances in which the author or literary executor has retained copyright, it will also be necessary to obtain permission to publish directly from these individuals. A copy of the published work should be presented to the Department of Special Collections when the published work has been released by the publisher.
