Reproductions and Permissions
 

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, US Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.”

Researchers interested in requesting reproductions of material from Amistad’s archival and printed collections should familiarize themselves and use the following policies and forms. Questions regarding duplication of material should be addressed to the Director of Library and Reference Services.
