Repro Service / Orders for Digitisation

Microforms, modern literature, audiovisual media, special materials and special collections can be digitised in addition to historical holdings.

When to place a repro-order

If you place a repro-order, ULB takes care of copying / scanning and processing of the ordered pages and scans. You should place a repro-order if

  • you need copies out of old, sensitive or precious books. These mostly are subject to a prohibition of (self-)copying.
  • you need voluminous material or a lot of scans and do not want to copy them yourself.
  • you need pre-press reproduction quality.
  • large formats, maps, plans or other special material is concerned.

How to place and submit the order

Please use our Order-Form (opens in new tab) and fill in only the areas marked gray. Provide it with your signature and send it to us and

  • attached to an Email to our or
  • via conventional mail to ULB Darmstadt or
  • hand it over the Research Reading Room.

Reproductions can only be made of copyright-free works.

Special requirements, projects and advice

Our digitisation centre will deliberately give advice on digitization projects or offer cooperation.
