Imaging Services

If the item you require is not available through our Digital Library the Library offers a range of imaging services for private research and/or reproduction and publication. Images will only be provided where the material is suitable for digitisation and the type of image supplied may depend on the format and condition of the original as the preservation of the material is the Library’s priority. These services are provided according to the provisions of current copyright law.

Images can be supplied as high-resolution images (TIFF or JPEG) suitable for detailed research and for reproduction. 

Please consult our online catalogues to provide each item’s full shelfmark and page/folio number.  To order images please email library@chch.ox.ac.uk
