Order digitisations
Renovating UB
We digitise, copy, photograph, and scan material from the University Library's collections.
This is what you can order
We digitise many materials, including books, newspapers, posters, photographs, postcards, and manuscripts.
The material must be a part of the University Library’s collections, and you must request the material before you can hand in the order.
Be advised that non-copyrighted material may be made freely available to all users via our digital collections.
