Nottinghamshire Archives Research Service
New Premium Photocopying Service
Nottinghamshire Archives has recently launched its new premium photocopying service.
For visitors to our search room, you can now order copies to be produced on the same day as your visit. We can copy small orders and items up to A4 in size. This service costs just £1.20 per page. The service is available depending upon how busy the search room is.
Certain items are excluded from all our photocopying services as they may be damaged by being placed on a photocopier. These include volumes, rolled documents and records with wax seals and multiple membranes.
For further information about our copying services, visit our reprographics pages. Details on visiting the archives are available here.
