SCAN REQUESTS ARE CURRENTLY ON HOLD
Once scanning services resume, the following procedures apply:
Researchers requesting scans of library materials must follow the below instructions:
Please send scan requests to library@philamuseum.org.
All requests should include:
A link to the needed resource in our online catalog, as well as the title, call number, and location in the body of your email.
The needed page ranges or lot numbers.
If you are looking for a specific artwork in a resource but don’t know the page or lot number, include an image of the artwork in your email, along with the title, year, and dimensions, if known.
Please request no more than 20 pages at a time. Note that all scans include the title and copyright pages.
Scan requests may be delayed or declined if they exceed 20 pages, do not include adequate citation information, and/or require additional research.
If your request is declined, you may schedule an on-site appointment to review Library materials in our Reading Room. We will contact you with further instructions.
If you are currently affiliated with another research or academic library based in the U.S., we kindly ask that you request materials through their interlibrary loan service first.
Scan requests may take up to 10 business days to be filled.
