Making copies of materials onsite

For each copy, we need you to acknowledge, in writing, your responsibility to comply with copyright.  Please use the 'Copyright and Creating Copies (PDF, 89.2 KB) ' form for this purpose.  There is a PDF version attached to this page, which you can print and partially complete before you visit.  Or you can pick up a hard copy from the document collection desk in the public research room.

Making copies with your own equipment

Providing you observe the limitations already set out, you can generally use your own camera equipment, including mobile phones, iPads and tablets, to make digital images. For collections care reasons, we do not allow flash photography and check the suitability of hand held scanners.

You will need a camera pass to make your own digital copies. There are three types to choose from:

• Day £8.00 Unlimited shots, valid on day of purchase
• 3 Day £16.00 Unlimited shots, valid on any three days for 12 months from issue date
• Annual £165.00 Unlimited shots, valid for 12 months from issue date

All passes are valid for a named individual and you should buy your preferred type at reception before making any copies. If you are working on a group project you may be eligible for one of our shared annual passes, which are valid for up to 6 people; please apply to the Customer Services Manager at archives@gloucestershire.gov.uk

The Day, 3 Day and Annual passes are also valid in Gloucestershire Libraries.

We have a portable camera stand that you can pre-book via the email address above.
