There are a number of ways to obtain copies of items from our reference, heritage and archival collections.
Online copies
Download digitised copies from our website for personal use, for example these photographs from the State Library and Archives of Tasmania collection. If you wish to publish or broadcast the copies, you must ask permission and cite the material correctly.
When you visit us
Bring a USB memory stick to take a copy of collection items for personal use, for free. You can take a photograph or use one of our photocopiers or scanners.
Mostly you can make a copy in person, unless:
- You are breaching copyright requirements
- The material is fragile – order a copy
- There are restrictions on who can access the archival material
Please check with staff.
Order copies and interlibrary loans
- Order a copy of our material, including reference, heritage or archival items. This includes audio or film materials such as an archival film. Fees apply. Your orders help add to the number of digitised items in our collections.
- Request the loan of a reference item, or copy supply from another library, for example the National Library of Australia or State Library of NSW. Reference loans must be viewed at Libraries Tasmania branches, while copy supply is direct to your email. Fees apply.
