Request to reproduce items
Requests for scans and high resolution files of digital materials should be placed through your TASCR account. Start your search at Archives@Tufts or, for high resolution scans of photographs, at the Tufts Digital Library. Once you identify material that you would like reproduced, you may place a request the "Request" button or by using the “My List” feature available on each page. Contact us at archives@tufts.edu if you have any questions.

Requests to copy TARC material constitute an agreement that you will not reproduce, transfer, distribute, broadcast, publicly display, offer for sale, or otherwise use or publish any material subject to copyright, or a portion thereof, in excess of fair use, as defined by copyright law, without the express permission of the copyright holder.
Please note that while TARC owns the materials in our collections, we usually do not own the copyright to these materials, except where it has been explicitly transferred to Tufts University. You are solely responsible for determining the copyright status of materials and obtaining permission to use material from the copyright holder. TARC cannot provide permission to publish or distribute materials when Tufts University is not the copyright holder.
We reserve the right to limit the number of copies made; to restrict the use of rare and valuable items; and to deny a request because of copyright regulations, privacy rights, donor-imposed regulations, or other rights related issues.
