Please specify the items you are interested in having reproduced and how the reproductions will be used. If possible, send printouts of the bibliographic records of the individual items you are ordering. Be sure to include a daytime phone number and a street address (the Library usually sends phonoduplication orders by Federal Express, so a post office box will not be sufficient).

For phonoduplication requests, indicate the format (cassette, open reel, or DAT) that you are requesting and the Call Number listed on the interview segment's record in the online collection, e.g, NV8-SJ-R21. Please note that you must order the full half-hour reels from which the individual interview segments appearing online have been taken.

The American Folklife Center will forward your order to the Recording Lab. The lab, in turn, will send you a form to sign, indicating that you are taking responsibility for the copies you will receive. You will need to return that signed form together with the estimated pre-payment, and the lab will then schedule the work. The process usually takes from six to eight weeks.

The Library's Recording Lab receives no tax dollars and operates much as though it were a commercial studio in the Washington, D.C. area, with fees set accordingly. As of October 1999, the lab fees are $86 per hour (billable in quarter-hour segments) plus a set-up fee and the costs of tape and shipping. The latter fees vary according to the format you choose.
