Reproduction Services

Patrons may request reproductions of collection material by telephone, mail or email. When requesting this service, please indicate the collection name and be as specific as possible about the document or information you seek.

The Special Collections department reserves the right to:

• limit large amounts of collection material reproduction
• refuse copy services for materials too fragile to withstand equipment use
• refuse copy services for materials subject to copyright or other restrictions

For copy requests exceeding 50 pages in length, an additional production fee will apply. Payment for all reproduction requests must be received in advance and may be made by cash, check, money order or charge (Visa, MC, American Express, Discover). If you wish to use a debit or credit card, we would suggest you call us rather than emailing the account number & expiration date. If you prefer sending a check or money order, make it payable to Truman State University and mail it to the address listed under Contact Us.
