Q. Can I get scans of an archives collection for my research?

For a fee, the Library is currently able to provide a very limited number of scans of most archives materials for personal, academic research use.

If you are able to provide the box number, file folder number, and file title, our staff will be able to ascertain whether the contents may be available for scanning. The necessary assessment evaluates the contents' condition, extent, and whether they may be too fragile for handling. Email requests to archives@fuller.edu.

Alternatively, a researcher may make an in-person appointment. In the appointment, the Archives allows patrons to photograph or scan materials using a personal, mobile device, subject to the David Allan Hubbard Library policies and procedures. Click here to make an in-person appointments at our website. 

All copies of archives and special collections materials created by patrons or provided by the Archives fall under allowances provided by Section 107 (Fair Use) and Section 108 (Library and Archives Exceptions) of the United States Copyright Act.

Patrons may not publish, post to the Internet, or otherwise distribute copies of any archives or special collections holdings that fall under U.S. Copyright law without appropriate permission. Provision of copies of Fuller Seminary's archives & special collections holdings does not in any way imply permission to utilize materials for reasons other than personal research and scholarly use.
