James Francis Driscoll Collection, Box 345
The Newberry Library offers the photoduplication options described below. Some services may not be possible due to the size/condition of an item, or because of the size/complexity of the request. In such cases, researchers are encouraged to visit the Library in person or hire an independent researcher. Digital cameras are allowed in the Reading Rooms, subject to certain conditions.
Newberry Library reference staff can also help researchers determine whether digital versions of certain items are available via
Google Books, the Internet Archive, or other databases. Staff can also help researchers search the Family History Library catalog for microfilmed versions of works.
The Newberry Library is represented by three stock photography companies: Stock Montage, Superstock, and Bridgeman Art Library.
