The Disciples of Christ Historical Society exists in part to provide information to support research. It is not our mission to duplicate large portions of our collection for housing elsewhere.
Reproduction services are a convenience that is offered to researchers. Disciples of Christ Historical Society reserves the right to refuse requests for reproduction of any material that may be damaged in the process of reproduction, or may be deemed too fragile for reproduction. Long term preservation of our materials is our primary goal. Your cooperation in recognizing this goal is greatly appreciated.
