 Services

Enquiries

Please contact us via email (scastaff@liverpool.ac.uk) with enquiries regarding the collections and staff will be happy to advise further wherever possible. 

The SCA team are doing their best to answer enquiries as quickly as possible, however our current response rate is up to ten working days.


 

Reprographics 

SCA offers an in-house reprographics service (subject to a fee and available for up to 100 scans). 

To enquire about ordering copies of SCA material, please contact us and provide the reference number(s) and any other applicable information (title, date, vol.). SCA staff will retrieve the material from the stores and check the material is suitable to be copied; if we are able to proceed, a member of the team will then reply with the total cost and a copy of the SCA Copying Request Form. 

Copying services are available subject to copyright regulations, but please note that the physical condition and size of an item may prohibit any copying. 

All reprographics orders for copies of SCA materials are carried out by SCA staff, with the exception of self-service digital photography (permission required). 

All orders will be processed promptly, but readers should expect to wait up to 20 working days for orders to be completed on receipt of payment.


 

Licensing 

If you wish to use any images from Special Collections & Archives in print or electronic publications, a licence is required, for which there may be a further charge. Please contact us to enquire about publishing images of SCA material.
