Archives and Special Collections

Services

Class Instruction

The Archives & Special Collections Department welcomes CSU instructors and their students from all disciplines to visit and learn about archives. To schedule an instructional session with one of our staff members, contact us directly or use the Schedule a Library Class webpage. Please call several weeks in advance to allow our staff time for preparation.

Tours

Although the Archives & Special Collections Department is located in a secured area of the Morgan Library, this does not mean that the facility is off-limits to the public. Visitors are always welcome. Tours of the Department can be arranged by calling 970-491-1844. Groups of up to ten people can be accommodated; larger groups will have to be divided.

Photocopies

Researchers can request up to 10 photocopies (20 for students) of materials free of charge. A per page fee is charged for larger quantities. This is payable by personal check or exact change. Staff will review materials to judge whether they are too fragile or have other issues which would prevent them from being photocopied.

Number of Copies per DayCharge
1-20free for students
1-10free for non-students
1-100$.25 per sheet
101-200$.50 per sheet
201-400$1.00 per sheet

If a request exceeds the number of free copies, a charge will be incurred for all copies. Requests of over 400 copies require the approval of the archivist. However, there will be no price break on these requests.

Services for Digital Images and Prints

Selected archival materials can be digitized in-house by CSU Libraries staff, provided the materials are judged to be in good condition.

Photographic prints are available through CSU Communications and Creative Services (CCS).  For this, Libraries staff will deliver materials to CCS.  The researcher is responsible for requesting services from CCS and making payment to them.  All copyright laws apply.
