Digital Reproduction

Digital reproduction of items in the U.C. Berkeley collection may be requested using the Photoduplication request form.

Berkeley'’s Digital Imaging Lab (DIL) produces high-resolution images (up to publication quality) from bound and unbound originals. The charge for single-image scans from bound originals is $40.00. The charge for single-image scans from unbound originals is $35.00. Pre-payment is required, and accepted forms of payment are credit card, check, and departmental re-charge account.

Turnaround time for DIL projects is approximately seven business days, though this may vary depending on the work load. Rush processing is available, though this will double the cost of the job. Scanned images are posted to the web, and the requestor is sent a secure, temporary link.
