The Trustees of The Rothschild Archive London have agreed a Copying Policy with regard to the copying of documents from the collections. The Copying Policy covers both photocopies and digital copies.
Researchers using the collections of The Rothschild Archive in London
Subject to the general principles set out in the Copying Policy, registered members of The Rothschild Research Forum visiting the Reading Room in the City of London in the course of their research may, subject to the current fees and charges, request photocopies, or a Camera Permit to take personal digital copies, of selected documents.
All copies are made at the discretion of the Archivist, and researchers should note that different permissions apply to different parts of the collection:
- Copies of business papers wholly owned by the Trustees of The Rothschild Archive are permitted;
- Copies of private Rothschild family papers wholly owned by the Trustees of The Rothschild Archive may be made at the discretion of the Archivist;
- Copies of all collections on deposit with the Trustees of The Rothschild Archive will not be copied without the permission in writing of the depositor.
Researchers using the collections of The Rothschild Archive held by the Archives Nationales du Monde du Travail, Roubaix, France
Researchers must first apply to Roubaix for access to collections of The Rothschild Archive held on deposit; these applications are then sent to The Rothschild Archive London for approval. If approved, permission to take photographs is usually also given.
This permission is subject to the general arrangements for copying of documents set by the Archives Nationales du Monde du Travail, Roubaix, whose current conditions of copying prevail. Researchers are advised to contact the Archives Nationales du Monde du Travail, Roubaix, France for further information.
