Request Photographs / Scans

• Special Collections will make up to 10 scans or digital photographs of items in our collection at no charge as long as physical condition of items, current copyright law, and library's agreements with donors allow.
• Due to our limited staff, we can provide only 10 images per person, per collection or per research project, at no charge. Multiple images of one item, the front and back of a letter, for instance, count individually.
• If you require more than 10 images, your entire order will be referred to a private photographic lab.  Click here for ESTIMATED prices.
• If you have identified the image(s) you would like, including collection name, box and folder number, or book title and call number, you may place your order directly. Please fill out a Patron Registration Form and a Digital Reproduction Form, being sure to sign the former by hand, and submit by email or fax.
• If you intend to publish images of material protected by copyright, either in print or electronically, please also submit a Permission to Publish Form.
  • Email Nicci Cobb:  speccolldigital@uh.edu
  • Fax:  (713) 743-9893
• Special Collections will provide a color corrected image, but will not retouch or correct flaws in the original item.
• Images will be delivered to you as 300 dpi JPEGs, 600 dpi JPEGs, or 8 x 10" photographic soft gloss prints.
• Whenever possible, images will be delivered via e-mail. If your image request is too large to be sent by e-mail or if you do not have access to e-mail, images can be delivered by a CD-ROM or print. You may pick up CDs and print orders at Special Collections, or may request to have your order mailed.
• Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery.
• NO RUSH ORDERS!
• If you have questions regarding digital image requests, please contact Nicci Cobb at speccolldigital@uh.edu or (713) 743-9229.
