Re: Scan charges



Bradley,

        For the moment I'm holding a hard line on scanning images, primarily
because I don't have security in place to tract and monitor misuse.  I
drafted the following statement so I have something in writing when I'm
asked, and, basically, to discourage the requests.  I have not been
challenged on it yet, but I have also not had any takers yet.

Electronic Images
        Researchers are not permitted to scan archival materials or take
photographs (digital or otherwise) of collection items.  Depending on
intended use, the requested image may be supplied in digital format via a
disk which remains the property of IIT.  The disk must be returned after the
image has been used.  No additional copies of the digitized image may be
saved in digital or printout format by the requesting party.  No
manipulation of the image other than cropping is permitted.
        Cost of electronic images is based upon time required by IIT Archives staff
to generate the image, billed at the rate of $20.00 per hour (1 hour
minimum) and includes the cost of the disk (to be returned at user?s
expense) and postage costs.

I would like to find out what other archives are charging patrons to scan
photographs, negatives, etc.

Thank you,
