Reproductions and Digitisation Services

Our reproductions and digitisation services provide digital copies of books, journals, manuscripts, and other archival materials, helping to preserve them and making them easy to access for research, study, publication, and personal use. As the handling and preservation needs vary between modern and special collections, the process and pricing differ for each.

Copyright and Licenses

  • If an item is in copyright, reproductions are supplied only for non-commercial research or private study. 
  • If you are planning to publish research including a copyrighted item from our collection, you must have the permission of the copyright owner or a valid copyright License before a reproduction is provided.
  • The University of London holds copyright to some items in its collection. If copyright is held by the University of London, you can apply for a copyright License through the reproductions and digitisation services form
  • If the item is not in copyright, you do not need to apply for a License. Please credit ‘Senate House Library’ and include the catalogue link where appropriate.  
  • Responsibility for clearing copyrights for publication lies with the customer. Neither Senate House Library nor the Digitisation Service team take responsibility for this.
