Materials housed on the Archives & Special Collections (ASC) floor are best accessed by scheduling an appointment in advance of your intended date of visit so that we can prepare needed materials for your use and provide support for your research. Contact Carrie Phillips, Archives and Special Collections Librarian, at phillipsc@bluffton.edu or 419-358-3275 for more information about the collections or to schedule a visit.
Photocopying: A small photocopier is available on the ASC floor for the use of our visitors. Please track your copies; the charge is 10 cents per page payable at the close of your visit. ASC staff reserves the right to make photocopies for you or deny photocopying for materials which are too rare or fragile to withstand the photocopying process. You will be asked to reimburse staff for any photocopies made for you in this way during your visit.
Photocopying for phone/email requests: Requests for photocopying received by phone or email and sent via US Mail will be charged 25 cents per page, which includes postage.
The Archives and Special Collections Librarian or her designee reserves the right to refuse to photocopy materials which would be damaged by photocopying or which are already in poor condition.
Questions about this policy may be directed to Carrie Phillips, Archives & Special Collections Librarian, at the contact information above.
