Pricing for reformatting is project specific, and a review of sample materials is often necessary. Fees are designed to recover projected staff and equipment costs.  The following project services categories provide default pricing information.  For processing and depositing images not produced by Imaging Services, please see this page "DRS Deposit Service for Content not Produced by Imaging Services".

Bound materials categories
Loose materials categories
Visual materials categories
Computational imaging categories

(See Batch Transfer Forms and Templates for category specific batch transfer sheet templates)
