For a fee, Map Collection staff can order you reproductions of materials that cannot be checked out. The fee varies depending on the material and copy method chosen. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide these services for maps that do circulate.
Please consult Map Collection staff (206) 543-9392 or email us at maplib@u.washington.edu to help you decide which format is best for you. The list above refers to the format of the output (the copy), not the original.
IMPORTANT: Each form has a place near the bottom that asks you to state your intended use, so please make sure to fill this out in your own words (don't leave the lines blank) and sign the form before sending it. Copy requests will NOT be processed if this information is not completed.
Use this method for maps narrower than 36". Maps must not be too fragile to process through the oversize scanner/copier, but maps encased in Mylar are acceptable.
Prices rarely exceed $5 per item before fees. There is a $5 service fee and 15% UW surcharge. For more information about fees and turnaround time see the Facilities Records Pricelist.
Order form: Large Format Reproduction Order (Word version). Fax it to (206) 685-8049 or mail it to the address listed on the form.
Pick up/mail: Special Collections will mail your copies to you and invoice you, or you can pick them up and pay for services at Special Collections, which is located in the basement of Suzzallo-Allen Libraries. Phone: (206) 543-1929. Email: speccoll@u.washington.edu.
Not available. Unfortunately, UW Libraries does not have access to the equipment to do a full-sized color paper copy of an item larger than 11"x17". You can get a scanned copy on CD-ROM, or you can get color copies on regular-sized paper which you can piece together to make a large copy.
If you want a color copy of a whole map, copies will be on sheets of 8½"x11" or 11"x17" paper and will not be pieced together for you. If you want a color copy of a portion of a map, the order must be accompanied by a black and white 8½"x11" or 11"x17" photocopy showing the area you want copied.
