Reproductions
San Francisco History Center provides photocopies, photographic reproductions, and digital
scans for a fee.
All photocopies are made by staff, daily at 4 p.m. Request forms for copy work are available
at the information desk. Special restrictions may apply to many of our materials, including
newspapers, manuscripts, photographs, fragile items, and oversize volumes. Reproduction from
any of our materials is at the discretion of the librarian. The price for photocopies is 15¢
per page (black and white), or $1.25 per page (color). Library users may pick up photocopied
materials, or arrange to have them mailed for an additional charge.
Patrons may make their own reproductions using their own camera equipment under certain
circumstances. Patrons should complete a Photocopy Request form when photographing from textual
collections, and should complete a Reproduction of Images form when copying from photograph
collections. For further information on the Center’s photograph collections and reproduction of
images, see Copyright and Ordering Information.
