    Making a good research request

    Requests are only received via email and fax. All photo requests must include a request form and a map. Research takes 3-4 business days. If you need help submitting a request, please stop by the Research Desk on the first floor of the Knight Library or email us at map@uoregon.edu.

    Request Form

    All request forms must have all fields filled in as completely as possible. Important fields to complete are: indicating public or academic patron status, email, phone and billing address, date range including a specific date range, duplication specifications, delivery options and special instructions, (e.g. stereo pairs, research of specific specifications based on scale, etc...) If you have any questions as you fill in the form please send us an email.

    Map Requirements

    All photo requests must include a map. Acceptable maps should be appropriate scale to the size and dimension of the site and show enough context or information for us to identify the location. USGS 1:24000 topographic maps and internet based maps are highly recommended for smaller urban sites while 1:100,000 scale maps are appropriate for larger sites. Tax lot maps can be sent as supplements, but are not replacements for topographic or street maps. For e-mail requests, a map should be attached as a small file in .jpg format. Please take a look at our MAP Research Service sample maps and a brief tutorial on making maps.
