Self-Service

Self-service copy machines and scanners can be used for maps in the open collections on the A-level of the Charles E. Young Research Library. Copy machines will take up to legal-size paper but cannot print color. Scanners will take up to letter-size paper.

Larger Copies and Scans

Larger copies and scans, as well as reproductions of historical maps, can be made by two outside vendors. When requesting such a reproduction, please take note of the following provisions:

  • A Library staff member must review and approve all map reproduction requests. Requesters are responsible for obtaining any copyright permissions needed before reproduction.
  • The Library charges fees for collection-related services. Fees must be paid in US currency. Payments can be made online or by check payable to the University of California Regents. California residents must add 8.75% sales tax.
  • UC users include UC faculty, staff and students. UC user fees apply to university-directed research only. Services and materials for outside research will be charged at the non-UC rate.
  • Payment in full is required before orders can be picked up. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required for orders estimated to cost $50 or more.
