Reproduction Fees
Note: We do not charge a fee for reproductions. Priority is given to W&M faculty and students. Patrons should note that digitization orders may take 10-12 weeks or more to complete. Larger orders will take at least 12-14 weeks to complete and may take longer, depending on the size of the request.
If you have special circumstances, such as audio-visual reproductions, scans of oversized items, photography, permission to publish (see below), or placing your order on a storage device, please consult a staff member about possible additional steps and fees. There may be additional fees for taxes, shipping, and handling.
