Image Reproductions
The Fairfield Museum and History Center offers scanning services for materials that cannot be photocopied due to age, condition, or uniqueness of the item.
Among the materials that may be scanned are volumes printed before 1920, fragile items regardless of age, as well as all Special Collections items including manuscripts and church books, photographs, and maps, among others.
Scanning services are conducted in-house only. We do not allow personal scanners, but you may use your phone to take photographs.
Items are scanned at original size and have a resolution of 200 dpi for fair use requests, and 300 dpi for commercial use requests. Scans are delivered via email or an online file-sharing service in TIFF or JPEG format.
Please contact our librarian with any questions.
