Textual Reproductions
Bush Library staff will provide reproductions of specified records and historical material at the reproduction fee set by NARA (currently $.80 per page). Advance payment is required for large orders. We send mail order copies by regular mail. Alternate shipping arrangements can be made at the researcher's expense. A request for reproduction of available records must include reasonable specificity. The Bush Library staff cannot undertake extensive searches or make subjective judgments on the "best" material related to a topic. The library will photocopy the entire contents of any folder a requestor can cite from a finding aid and will photocopy specific material cited in the library's list of processed presidential records and donated historical materials, or any specific item available for research, provided the staff can easily locate it.

Please specify the size and resolution you are requesting. For videos, identify the Master Tape (“MT”) number. For audio recordings, identify the date and title of the recording. If you are unable to locate a master tape or photo number, please contact us. All AV materials must be paid in advance, and we are now using the pay.gov online payment system.
