The NDSU Archives is open for academic and public research; however, our collections do not circulate. Depending on their condition, materials from the collection may be reproduced. The NDSU Archives reserves the right to refuse to make reproductions if the original item is too fragile, if the request violates copyright law, or if the request cannot be fulfilled due to staffing or equipment concerns.

Ordering
To request copies please email us at ndsu.archives@ndsu.edu and include the information you are seeking (i.e. marriage names, dates, record #, etc.). If you have any questions please email us or call us at 701-231-8914.
To order photographs, our form will need to be filled out and sent to the archives staff.
Once the request has been submitted, staff will respond to the patron with a price quote. A staff member will respond with an email explaining how to pay. Once confirmation of payment has been received by the staff, fulfillment of the order will take place.
Unless otherwise noted, fulfillment of the order will take place via emailing of documents (in PDF form) or photographs. In the event an order is too large to do as such, they will either be mailed by first class USPS mail or uploaded to our GoogleDrive and an email will be sent to download from there.
