Reproduction of SAHA archival materials

SAHA is able to provide scans or photocopies of materials in our collections under the provisions of the South African Copyright Act, 1978. One of these provisions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be used for any purpose other than private study or personal or private use. If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes not permitted by the Act, that user may be liable for copyright infringement. Where there is no known copyright holder, provision is at the discretion of SAHA archival staff in line with SAHA's copyright position.

Costs recovered through charging for reproduction of SAHA archival material contribute towards the ongoing digitization of SAHA collections.
