While the BFCA does not permit researchers to make their own photocopies or photograph archival materials, we are able to accomodate some reproduction and duplication requests.
We own the copyright to a very limited number of materials in our audiovisual collections, but are able to provide footage when licensing has been negotiated with the appropriate copyright holder(s).
Requests for photocopies, photographs, and slides are subject to archive approval and may be denied because of the condition of material, copyright, or other considerations. Researchers are not permitted to make their own photocopies or copy archival materials using their own camera or other equipment.
Depending on the number of photocopies requested, it may not be possible to fill an order on the day requested and the archive reserves the right to carry out the work over a period of time. The number of photocopies allowable varies by collection.
All reproduction, duplication, footage, and licensing requests are subject to U.S. Copyright law. For more information about fees and other available file formats, please contact our office at bfca@iu.edu or 812-855-6041.
Fees may be waived under certain circumstances. Additional fees may apply for patrons making special requests.
