NUMBER: 5.5 Library Charges Archives and Special Collections - Reproduction Charges These proposed Archives and Special Collections fees bring us in line with similar institutions and continue to give SDSU affiliated researchers a price break. The pricing also considers the shift from photocopying and mailing hard copies to researchers to creating digital pdfs and e-mailing digital copies.
