27. Change in Photoduplication Policy As of March 17, 2008, the Ransom Center's policy regarding research copies of items from its collections will change. We will no longer furnish photocopies. For all requests received on or after March 17, our default procedure will be to make digital scans of the originals and furnish PDF files (72 dpi) either by email or on CD-ROM. For patrons who are unable to make use of PDFs, printouts will be available in lieu of digital files. For publication purposes, high-resolution images will still be furnished on the same terms as before. Harry Ransom Center, UT Austin Scan on demand
