What NOT to Bring to the Archives

Duplication of First Church holdings is a service that we provide under the following conditions:

1) Copies of documents will be made solely for the personal use of the individual researcher requesting them, and are not to be sold, given away or recopied without the prior written permission of the First Church governing body.

2) Duplication of material by the Archives does not constitute permission to publish. For more information, see our Application to Publish and Use Policy.

3) Materials will be duplicated by qualified First Church personnel using First Church equipment. Materials will not be removed from the premises for special copying and researchers will not be allowed to make their own copies, generally.

4) Materials to be duplicated will be selected using First Church methods. Discretion will be exercised over the researchers choice of materials, should they choose materials that are fragile or badly damaged.

5) Restricted records will not be duplicated.

6) Requests for copies of under twenty pages may be made from off site, provided they are paid for in advance under the following fee schedule. There is a $1.00 minimum fee for all duplication requests received by mail.

RATES:

Photocopies are .25 per sheet
Black and white photo prints may be available.
WE CAN FAX YOUR ORDER:
$10.00 (minimum charge) - $1.00 per sheet

7) Neither major portions of a collection nor finding aids prepared by the archives for use within the reading room will be duplicated for any individual researcher.

8) The researcher may be asked to sign a hard copy of this policy.

To order copies, print a copy of our order form, fill it out, sign it, date it, and send it to the archives with your check. If you need more room to describe your order, you may attach other pages or write on the back of the form.
