Services
Special Collections and Archives are available and accessible to the public. The materials are provided in the Special Collections and Archives Reading Room and do not circulate outside the Reading Room. The registration process includes signing in and adhering to the Reading Room Guidelines. The guidelines are in place to ensure the preservation of the materials while providing access to the community.
Basic Scans can be made for copies of archival materials and rare books - these files are to be used for personal research use only. The first 20 pages of every request are free of charge and fees will be charged for each page thereafter. The only exception to this policy is for copies of Theses and Dissertations which will be scanned in their entirety free of charge.
High Quality Scans are scanned at a high resolution and are provided for use in exhibits, publications, videos, displays, etc. These requests are contingent on the researcher securing permission from copyright holders if Cal State LA Special Collections and Archives does not own the copyright.
Researchers wishing to publish special collections and archival materials agree to obtain permission from copyright holders, if not Cal State LA, and from other interested parties as applicable. Due to the nature of archival materials, the researcher also agrees to accept responsibility for complying with legislation enacted to protect the creator's right to privacy.
Researchers who are unable to visit the archives in person may request Special Collections and Archives staff to conduct research on their behalf.
High quality reproductions and publications requests must sign an Image Permission Form. You can obtain a form by contacting [email protected]
