Fees for copying for private study
Photocopying facilities
The library offers two self service photocopiers. There is an ordinary copier suitable for text and a colour laser copier that gives a greatly enhanced image, suitable for copying illustrations. Most items in the library may be copied, but there are restrictions on some items, due to their age, condition or the limits imposed by the Copyright and Patents Act. Please ask a member of staff for assistance if required.
The cost of photocopies is 10p for A4 and 20p for A3 on the ordinary machine. Laser copies start at 50p for a black, and white A4 and £1.00 for a colour A4.
Microfilm and microfiche photocopies
The library has three reader printers. These allow you to make photocopies from the sources which are held in these formats. You are strongly advised to book this machine before you visit. A4 copies from this machine cost 25p.
Copies of photographs
The library has a large photographic collection, covering all aspects of life in Southwark. Copies of these photographs can be made for you, at an approximate cost of £6 for an 8in x 6in black and white print, assuming a negative exists. Please ask for further details.
