Researchers should be aware that many items in the University Archives are still under copyright.  Marymount University Archives claims only physical ownership of most of the materials.

Payment and Delivery

Marymount University Archives will provide an invoice for orders. Standard turnaround time for orders is one week, though this may vary depending on the size and complexity of the order.  We do not offer rush service. It is possible that a small scan or photocopy order may be able to be completed while you wait; however, this is subject to staff availability and cannot be guaranteed.
