Request Reproductions of Materials

If you would like scans or audio-visual (A/V) reformatting of our materials, filling out this form is the first step.

NC State University Libraries provides reproduction services for private study, scholarship, or research. The Libraries reserves the right to refuse a reproduction request. The Special Collections Research Center does not provide print copies. Files are shared via Google Drive after scanning is complete and all fees are paid.

Steps to acquiring reproductions of materials

  1. Submit your request information on this form
  2. Pay fees online or via check in the mail
  3. Receive files via Google Drive after scanning is complete

After paying fees, you'll receive files typically in 10–14 business days, or longer, depending on the size or type of request. A/V reformatting may take longer due to the reformatting process.
