POLICY STATEMENT ON COPYING RECORDS, MANUSCRIPTS, AND AUDIO AND VISUAL MATERIALS
The UAA Archives and Special Collections Department was created in order to collect, preserve, and make available for research use papers and records relating to the history of Alaska. While the department will assist in the promotion of general and scholarly research by providing researchers with copies of records, limitations on copying/reproducing some records are dictated by law (privacy, copyright, etc.), institutional regulations, department policy, or the condition of the records. The researcher should note that the transfer of copyright cannot include incoming letters or other works not created by the donor or his progenitors; a donor cannot transfer copyright to items for which s/he does not own copyright.
Unrestricted records are open to general use and copying. Records will not be loaned for copying, and, with the exception of microfilm and microfiche, all copying will be done by departmental staff. Fees must be paid at the time the order is placed. Permission to copy photographs from deposited collections or from those collections for which the institution or public does not own the copyright must be obtained in writing from the depositor or copyright owner; otherwise, only xerographic copies will be provided. Generally, copies made under "fair use" provisions of the copyright law will be xerographic copies. In cases in which the ownership or copyright holder, or their heirs, are not known or available, the researcher will be required to sign a release when copies are provided. The researcher must agree to hold harmless the University of Alaska and all Regents, officers, administrators, and staff, and the UAA Consortium Library's Archives and Manuscripts Department and its staff, for any violations of copyright or other rights associated with the copying or use of the materials by the researcher.
The copying of materials from the UAA collections is for a one-time use only. Copies are solely for the use of the researcher for whom they were made. Any further reproduction without the specific written approval of the UAA Archives and Manuscripts Department is prohibited. Copies made for researchers are not to be deposited in any other archives, manuscripts repository, or library.
PAYMENT: Fees must be paid at the time of the order. Make checks payable to the Consortium Library, University of Alaska Anchorage. Fees are subject to change without notice.
