Conducting Remote Research
Eligibility
Contact Reference Services at ahcref@uwyo.edu to see if your project is eligible for remote research. Examples of projects that are ineligible for remote research include inquiries into collections with oversized material (such as Anaconda Geological Documents Collection maps) or restricted collections.
Scheduling your appointment
Once you're approved for an RRAD session, we'll email you a Microsoft Bookings link to schedule your session. Please note that you will receive an automated reminder prior to your appointment. All RRAD sessions are booked in Mountain Standard Time (MST).
- Each session lasts up to one hour per day on available days.
- Sessions are charged at a rate of $15 per appointment.
- Appointments are not pro-rated if less than one hour is used.
Preparing for your session
Before your appointment, please email us with the collections and boxes you wish to review during your RRAD session. Please provide at least three business days of advance notice to ensure we have sufficient time to retrieve the materials you wish to view. Patrons must review the RRAD Researcher Responsibilities document and must sign and complete the RRAD Researcher Registration Form before reviewing materials during their session.
Duplication and Use of Materials
You may take screenshots of materials during your appointment free of charge, except in cases involving restricted collections. If you wish to request duplication of materials outside your RRAD session, please note the following rates:
- Digitization: Begins at $1 per page for still image formats.
- High-resolution duplication: Begins at $15 per image.
- Additional charges apply for bound, oversized, or fragile materials.
Payment and Invoicing
To ensure timely invoicing for your session, please provide your full billing address so that we may issue an electronic invoice to you. This information will be entered into the University of Wyoming’s secure online payment system for invoicing purposes and will not be distributed. Billing is processed after your RRAD session. Payments can be made at the AHC's patron services payment portal.
