The departmental service of providing duplications of Prange Collection materials for researchers
facilitates long-distance access to its holdings and satisfies the requests of visiting researchers. In
general, a fee of $5.00 is added to duplication requests initiated by phone, FAX, email, or regular mail.
To initiate an order, a researcher must complete both a departmental Use Agreement Form and a
Duplication Work Order Form. Duplications will not be released until payment has been received. Check
and money orders should be made payable to the "University of Maryland" and mailed to the Gordon W.
Prange Collection, McKeldin Library, Room B0107, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742. Credit cards may be used with orders of $5.00 or more, by faxing or mailing the Credit Card Form to the Manager of the Prange Collection.
Researchers will be required to complete and sign a Notification of Intent to Publish, if the
duplicate copies have been acquired for publication, broadcast, or other commercial use.

Prange Collection staff makes photocopies of Prange Collection original materials. Researchers may
NOT make photocopies of these materials on their own initiative. Requests will be handled as promptly as
possible. It may be necessary to mail photocopies to a researcher after the research visit has been
completed.
Photocopies are not made of original Prange magazines and newspapers, however. Patrons may make photocopies of the magazines and newspapers from the microforms of those collections. A microform reader/printer is available in the East Asia Collection, 4th Floor McKeldin Library, for that purpose.
The fee for photocopying completed by staff is $0.25 per page. Photocopy requests are normally
limited to 200 pages a month per researcher. The Manager of the Collection may waive the 200-page limit
if they determine that a request is justified and if there is sufficient staffing to complete it.
There will be a $0.75 per page surcharge for photocopy orders in excess of the 200-page per month
limit. The Manager has the discretion to waive the surcharge.
Color photocopies of certain items (up to 8.5 x 11 inches) may be provided at the Manager's
discretion. The cost of a color photocopy is $1.00/page.
*Personal Cameras: Occasionally researchers may secure permission to photograph Prange
Collection holdings using personal cameras. This permission is granted at the discretion of the
Manager.
