Photocopies

Some records can be photocopied, but not all. The heat and pressure applied during copying can damage documents and bound volumes, and we may have to turn down some requests for photocopies.

We do not consider it safe to photocopy:

• bound volumes
• papers above A3 (except O.S. maps)
• fragile or crumbling documents
• parchment
• photographs
• other items that may be damaged

However, thousands of records in our custody can be photocopied for you: it all depends on size, format, and condition, but not necessarily age. You will need to know our document reference before ordering copies.

Please check with us if you need help with your order.

Price if ordered in the search room: 50p per sheet (whether A4 or A3) Orders can be collected on a future visit or posted out to you (p & p extra) If ordered by mail or telephone: £3 for the first sheet (A4 or A3) and £1 for subsequent sheets (inland p & p included, airmail extra) We aim to complete photocopy orders of up to 20 copies within 6 working days. Photocopying is by staff only.
