How do I request photocopies of records at the BC Archives?
Requests for copies of records at the BC Archives must be made in writing. Specific documents must be clearly identified by call number, box number and file number. Staff will assess each order individually for any copying restrictions. Orders for records covered by the Copyright Act, prohibited by donor copy restrictions or records that are deemed to fragile for copying will be refused. Staff will contact you to let you know if the order has been accepted, and how much it will cost to copy and mail the order. Once payment by cheque or money order has been received, the order will be processed and mailed. The turn around time for the entire process from receipt of original order to receipt of copies, is generally four to six weeks.
