Order reproductions of our books and manuscripts for use in your research or personal use.
We are prioritizing materials for IU Fall 2023 classes and research by offering free digitization services, with some limits. See below for details.
We are limited in our ability to fulfill large digitization requests. We may not be able to process orders that span a large number of boxes.

This includes all formats.
Example: 200 PDF pages + 50 JPG images = semester limit
Semesters run roughly January - April, May - August, and September - December.
