Fees are determined by the amount of materials requested. Onsite orders have a per page pricing structure. Offsite orders have a minimum fee for X amount of copies with an additional fee for every page over X. Fees for scans (JPEG or TIFF files) are per page/file.
Requests for reproductions of Special Collections materials are fulfilled by department staff via the Special Collections Request System, Aeon. Fees are based on affiliation and whether you are on or offsite. Payment must be received prior to delivery of materials. At this time we do not accept credit card payments, only cash or check. Please confirm the cost of reproductions via the request system prior to mailing payment.
Access to the Permission to Use form can also be found within Aeon.
Delivery of orders depends on availability of staff, the number or requests and University holiday schedule.

Personal Camera Use in Special Collections
Special Collections allows the use of digital cameras in the Reading Room. Camera use reduces the need to handle materials when making photocopies and allows a more cost effective and accessible approach for our faculty, students, and traveling researchers.
Images for publication still need to be processed by staff in order to ensure high quality works. Patrons are required to sign off on handling rules and copyright regulations and to capture the information with each photograph taken that provides the UC Davis ownership and the item location for follow-up reference and retrieval, this is a continuation of current practice.
The department still maintains its regular photocopying and digital scanning services.
