The Special Collections & Rare Books Department provides some duplication services for items from our collections, but reserves the right to restrict reproduction of materials due to condition, size, copyright, staff availability or donor requirements. Duplication options currently available are photocopy or digitization of images, microforms, and documents. Reproduction requests should not exceed 25 pages/images per order, or at the discretion of the librarian, and are limited to items in the departments' collections.
To request reproductions from books, printed, or archival materials, please fill out a Duplication Request Form (book/printed material, archival material)

Digital reproduction services are available at the Special Collections & Rare Books Department and are done by Special Collections & Rare Books staff. Digital scans from Print Materials must always be made by staff members and will incur the charges as stated below. However, microfilm, microfiche, and micro-opaque digital scanners are available for patrons' use at no charge while visiting the Special Collections Department during regular office hours. Patrons must make their own microfilm and microfiche copies in Ellis Library. Accommodations will be made for patrons with disabilities.
Images and text from books, manuscripts, and microforms can be scanned and saved in a variety of file formats and densities. Any manipulation of digitized images by patrons beyond cropping and minor adjustments to balance and contrast is strictly forbidden.

The Special Collections & Rare Books Department encourages use of reproductions of its material in publications, broadcasts, public displays and on Web pages. However, permission must be obtained by means of the Special Collections & Rare Books' Request for Permission to Publish, Exhibit or Broadcast form.
Commercial and non-university publication, broadcast or display of Special Collections & Rare Books material requires a $60.00 per image use fee. The use fee entitles the patron to display, broadcast, or publish the image in a single exhibit, broadcast, or publication title. The user fee does not entitle the purchaser to repeated or perpetual use of the image or materials.
While no user fee is charged to University of Missouri offices, faculty, staff, or students for use of Special Collections & Rare Books images, completion of a Request for Permission to Publish, Exhibit or Broadcast form is required.
All digital reproductions will include the credit line as a part of the image file. The credit line must include the item identification as well as the phrase "Courtesy of the Special Collections & Rare Books Department, University of Missouri-Columbia."
For additional credit line information, see the Request for Permission to Publish, Exhibit or Broadcast form.

United Media holds copyright on most years of Alley Oop Sunday and daily comic strips. In order to avoid breaking copyright restrictions or infringing on fair use, Special Collections is not currently providing photocopies of comic strips or copyrighted comic materials. See U.S. Copyright Office Circular 44: Cartoons and Comic Strips for more information. Please contact the United Media Reprints Division at reprints@unitedmedia.com to obtain copies of Alley Oop comic strips.
Special Collections will provide photocopies of comic materials in the public domain at the regular rates. The fee applies to each individual request. Daily Comic Strips and Sunday Comic Strips are considered different collections and are counted as separate requests.
For preservation reasons, Special Collections will not make photocopies of Sanborn Maps. Please visit the University of Missouri Digital Library for digitized Sanborn maps published before 1923.
