Reproduction Services
Volumes on William Lyon Mackenzie's mission to England in 1832-3
There is no self-service photocopying in the Wellington County Room. Staff determine whether or not a particular item may be copied, and if so, by what method. While we try to maintain same-day service, it is not always possible for larger volume requests and orders made at a distance. Copyright, size and condition of material (especially rare books) often does not permit extensive copying in some cases.
Additional donor restrictions apply to some archival material. Each request will be decided individually. Digital images are also available on a cost basis as well. Researchers assume all responsibilities for permission to use archival and manuscript materials. A copystand is available for self-service camera imaging — patrons must provide their own camera and be authorized to photograph materials by archives staff. Charges for typical services are listed directly below.
Photocopies
The fee for photocopying service is 25 cents per page for b&w (all sizes), 50 cents for colour (letter/legal), $1.00 for colour (11 x 17).
Digital Images
The fee for digital imaging is as follows:
- $8.00 per image for scans/image preparation (300 or 600 dpi, TIFF or JPG)
- $2.00 for CD/DVD
- Postage: orders totalling up to $5.00, no charge for on-site researchers and $5.00 for off-site researchers (excludes larger orders)
- No taxes to be charged for out of country orders and no provincial sales tax charge for out of province orders.
A request for reproduction form (available in the Reading Room or via fax) must be completed and signed for duplication of any materials.
Reference Services
In addition to using TRELLIS to locate specific items or exploring our website where you can information on major collections, researchers should not hesitate to ask Archival and Special Collections staff for assistance.

Our small reference collection contains collection descriptions and updates, Guelph histories, campus histories and publications, books on Canadian theatre and particular works, such as biographies, relevant to our collections.
