- Forms include a copyright declaration which must be signed by all applicants. Material may not be copied if copyright is likely to be infringed.
- Some items are unsuitable for photocopying due to the material they are made from, their format or condition; we may offer digital prints (on plain paper or photo paper) as an alternative.
