Patrons may request scans of material that has not previously been digitized by filling out the Reproduction Request Form. Scans will be made available for viewing through the UNCSA Archives Digital Collections database; please check there before submitting a request to ensure that the material you are looking for is not already available. Please allow for a minimum of 2 weeks for scans to be completed and uploaded, though some requests may take longer based on the number of items and staff availability. Requests will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, and some requests may be denied based on format/fragility of material or legal restrictions.
