Request Items for Digitization

We are able to digitize certain items on request.

  • The department charges for the amount of time involved to digitize the extent of requested material.
  • The cost of items depends on the collection, the amount of material, and how difficult the item is to digitize.
  • Due to limited staff, we have a two-hour limit to what we are able to digitize.
  • It is likely that we will be unable to digitize large volumes of material or fragile items that risk becoming damaged during scanning.
  • When possible, digitized items will be added to the department's Online Content so future users will be able to use the items.
