Copying fees
Various fees apply for copies of archival material, whether
ordered directly from the Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives or
via the Canadian
Jewish Heritage Network website.
The following information applies to all material for which
reproductions are permitted, in accordance with Canadian copyright
and privacy laws as well as donor restrictions, where
applicable.
Photographic reproductions (digital)
For an already-scanned image, in our standard size (300 dpi
tiff)
|
$10.00 CAD per image |
For a newly scanned image in standard size (300 dpi tiff)
|
$20.00 CAD per image |
For larger format, special order scans
|
$30.00 CAD per image |
Photographic reproductions (prints)
Photographic prints of photographs can be
ordered, but as this process must be outsourced,
the time delay is greater and prices vary based on the service
provider. We therefore recommend that you order a digital file and
specify that you want it large enough for printing in a specific
size.
Research and document selection
Up to fifteen (15) minutes of research and
selection time can be done free of charge. After this limit has
been reached, you will be notified that a charge of $25.00 per hour
will apply for further work. Please allow two weeks per
order.
Digital reproduction of documents
Limited quantities of material can be sent by
email, usually as multi-page PDF format documents, with a minimum
fee of $5.00. Additional pages will be charged at a rate of $1.00
CAD per page for a multipage PDF document or documents. A limit of
50 pages may apply to some collections, and/or there may be
additional fees for the research time required to select
pages.
Paper photocopies of specific
documents
For copies of letter- or legal-size documents
requested by a remote researcher, paper photocopies are 30 cents
per page, plus the cost of the postage to your location. A limit of
50 pages may apply to some collections, or there may be additional
fees for the research time required to select
pages. Please allow two weeks per
order.
Standard-size copies made onsite by researchers
are 25 cents per page. Oversize (11 inch by 17 inch) photocopies
are 75 cents per page.
Photocopies of large and/or fragile documents
and artefacts
Documents (over 11 inch by 17 inch) and
artefacts that are too fragile or large for the flatbed scanners
can be copied at the archivist's discretion. Please contact us for
more information about this service.
Certified documents
Documents that require certification are $1.00
per page.
Retrieval of personal files from remote
storage
Due to the fees charged to us for retrieval of recent personal
case files (JIAS and URO), those with authorization to access these
files will be required to pay a retrieval fee of $75.00 for an
initial file and a variable charge for any additional file or files
ordered at the same time.
Audio or audio visual materials (digital)
For non-copyright-protected audio or audio-visual archival
material that is already available in digitally copied form, the
cost is $10.00 per digital copy of an audio file or audio visual
file. We suggest that you communicate with us first to ensure that
our digital format is compatible with your equipment.
Audio or audio visual materials (digital copies of older
formats)
Rates for copying older
audio-visual materials vary depending on the format. Audio cassette
tapes can be digitized on-site at the rate of $20.00 per recording,
or $20.00 per hour. Other formats, such as film and VHS must be
outsourced for copying and therefore prices will vary according to
the service provider. Audiovisual materials are
generally copied only in compressed format. Contact us for further
details.
Obituary Notice
Reproductions
For reproductions of Obituary Notices
from the microfilmed Yiddish-language newspaper the Keneder Adler
(The Jewish Daily
Eagle), the cost is $10.00 per
notice.
