Senate House Library Reproductions
Reproductions of material from our collections can be ordered through our Reproductions service. This service is only available for manuscripts, archives, theses and out of copyright published works such as books and journals. See here for further information on copyright. Short extracts of copyright published material can be ordered instead through our Documents Direct service. Please note that many University of London theses are available through the British Library's EThOS service.

For preservation reasons, some material is not suitable for reproduction as a Reprint. This includes material in the following categories:
- Items published before 1801
- Bound manuscript volumes
- Scrapbooks and photo albums
- Some volumes of bound pamphlets
- Large and extra-large folios
- Historic printed maps
Such material may usually be copied through Imaging instead.

Placing an order
Orders can be placed using the online Reproductions Order Form or the paper, or the paper version if you prefer. Copies of manuscripts and archival material should be ordered using the paper version as the copyright declaration must be signed. The paper version of the form can be returned by post, fax or email. You can include your credit/debit card details on the paper order form, but we do not recommend you do this if returning your form via email. See Payment below for further information.
Once we receive your order we will check the item is suitable for reproduction. If you have ordered a Reprint but the item is not suitable for reproduction in this way, we will process your order as an Imaging order if you have asked us to do this on the order form. We will then send you a Payment Summary confirming the total amount payable.
Payment
Once you have received your Payment Summary, you can supply your credit or debit card details by phone, or using a Payment Form. If you used the paper order form to place your order, you can supply your credit/debit card details on this instead, and then need only confirm you would like your card debited once you have received your Payment Summary. Alternatively you can send a cheque made payable to 'University of London'. Cheques must be in UK currency and drawn on a UK bank account. If you are placing an order on behalf of an institution and have asked to pay by bank transfer, a pro-forma invoice will be sent along with your Payment Summary. Payment Summaries are normally issued within 2-3 working days.
Delivery
If you have ordered digital reproductions you will be sent a link via email so you can download them. Alternatively they can be saved to a CD for an additional charge of £1.00. Printed copies and CDs are delivered by first class Royal Mail within the UK and Airmail outside the UK. Parcel Force delivery is also available, although this carries an additional charge depending on the number of pages.
Once we have received payment, reproductions are normally delivered within 3-5 working days.
Use of reproductions
Reproductions supplied through our Reproductions service may not be published without the permission of the Library and payment of the relevant fee. Such permission can be requested on your order form. Alternatively, permission can be applied for by email.
