Before any requests for copy work, you will be asked to carefully read and sign the Alexander Architectural Archive Copy Work Policy.
In addition, no copy work order will be placed without strict adherence to copyright law. It is your responsibility to understand and abide by this law, as well as locate and obtain permission from the copyright holder if necessary. Please use the Authorization Form for Copyright Release to obtain this written permission. For more assistance, see the Copyright Term Chart, University of Texas System Crash Course in Copyright, specifically Getting Permission or Getting Permission to Use Archival Materials Related to Architectural Works.
Once the issue of copyright has been cleared, an order form will be drafted and an estimate of costs will be compiled. No order will be placed until an estimate of costs is reported to the customer. Likewise, no order will be placed without the customer signature certifying that s/he has read, understands and agrees to abide by the rules, regulations and obligations imposed by the Alexander Architectural Archive as set forth in the Copy Work Policy.

Costs are broken down into the following categories:
Production costs:
Preservation Use Fee:

Billing Fee, etc.:
The University of Texas Libraries charges a Billing Fee for each order received. Other costs include taxes and shipping. Items requiring treatment by a professional conservator will not be available for copy work unless the customer wishes to incur this additional cost. Orders requiring professional conservation treatment will also take additional time to fill.
In-state orders may be subject to state and local sales tax.
A deposit is required on orders amounting to $100.00 or more.
Checks are to be made out to The University of Texas Libraries.
