New Archives Policies and Procedures

Posted on by

The Special Collections Library and Archives has implemented a new fee structure for reproduction and publishing of archival materials. This fee is for digital reproductions of the items available in our holdings. It varies based on the type of material as well as the quality level requested for digitization.

The fee applies to users outside of the UTSW system when digitizing images, audiovisual materials, and documents. However, thesis and dissertations have a cost associated with them for everyone.

The order form and the costs associated with the work can be found on the Special Collections Library and Archives webpage.

Ancestry® Library Edition arrives

Posted on by

The UTSW Library has recently acquired the database Ancestry® Library Edition (ProQuest). This database is perfect for both the casual researcher of genealogy and the expert. It is the library version of the paid Ancestry subscription but with a few differences.

  • Users are not allowed to save items to a new or existing family tree, they may email items or save them to a flash drive.
  • Forums and advice on how to search for difficult family members are available, as well as forms to print to build your own family tree.
  • Users may search records from around the world, but please note that records are not translated from their original language.
