Request Photographs / Scans

Special Collections will make up to 5 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.
If you require more than 5 images, you will be referred to a private photographic lab for your entire order.
Due to our limited staff, we can provide only 5 images per person, per collection or per research project, at no charge.
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, and send to Julie Grob by fax: (713) 743-9893, or by mail: Julie Grob, Special Collections, 114 University Libraries, Houston, TX 77204-2000.
If you need assistance identifying the image(s) that you would like, please contact the appropriate librarian for that topic:
