Price list for photocopy and scanning requests
Göttingen State and University Library offers you various types of copying and scanning services. Please keep in mind that reproductions from manuscripts, old and rare books as well as from loose leaf papers and/or large format originals may require specific forms of reproduction because of requirements of conservation. In some cases, a reproduction might be impossible.
The minimum order value amounts to 6 euros per order for any kind of reproduction (plus postage and handling).
You can pick up your order at the Reading Room desk of the Historic Printed Collections in the Historical Building during the opening hours. Please note that only cashless payments are possible.
Alternatively paper copies and data storage media will be delivered by mail with an invoice. If the reproductions are not picked up, they will be sent to the address given on the order form.

Digital reproductions
We deliver digital copies and PDF documents on a CD-ROM or DVD for which we charge 5 euros in addition to the cost of the reproduction. Digital copies and PDF documents from originals published after 1900 (according to German copyright law) may be delivered by email if the file is small enough. The decision on the kind of shipping remains with the SUB Göttingen. Orders from printed books up to the year 1900 and from special materials will usually be delivered as colour scans; if the type of material and the copyright conditions allow, the digital reproductions may be presented online on our website.
