We are happy to make copies of unrestricted materials. Request copies using the form below, or come to the Special Collections desk.

Pricing

Some types of copies and uses may incur fees. You can pay with cash (in-person at the Special Collections desk) or check (in-person or by mail).

  Due to Governor Tate Reeves' "shelter in place" order, Special Collections is unable to offer copy services until further notice.

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak and modify our services and open hours accordingly. For more information on how we can help you during the outbreak, visit https://guides.library.msstate.edu/coronavirus.
