Digitisation Service
With no access to physical stock at present we're unable to offer a full digitisation service. However, we can still use existing scans from other institutions as long we own a copy of the book or journal.
- Academics can digitise material from personal copies subject to the usual guidelines.
- We must own a copy of the same edition and all academic scans must be forwarded to us to complete the request process.
- In the first instance, academics should contact us for more information to ensure copyright compliance and scanning guidance.
- The British Library is running a reduced EHESS service so there may be delays sourcing digitised material we don't currently own.
- Please continue to forward book chapter and journal article requests from academics and we will investigate options. Please contact Lee directly or the team here for further details
