Reproductions
Any reproduction of material in the archival collections of the Ukrainian History and Education Center is at the discretion of the archive staff. Center staff will handle all reproduction work, and may restrict the quantity or types of material that can be reproduced. The generation of digital reproductions is at the discretion of the UHEC, and may be denied based on copyright ownership and other factors.
The personal use of hand-held digital cameras in the reading room by on-site researchers is allowed subject to rules and restrictions.
The fees below are for reproduction services only, and does not include permission to publish. Publication permission for images of items in the UHEC's collections may be granted under the UHEC's Use Policy and may require an additional fee which depends on the type of material, the publication or broadcast medium, and the commercial/non-commercial nature of the request. Publication of limited quotations from or summaries of the content of archival materials does not require permission, but does require proper citation. Fees may be waived under some circumstances at the discretion of the UHEC.
Staff time is extremely limited. Please allow 3-6 weeks for fulfillment.
