Publishing
To ensure that publication of material from its collections receives due acknowledgment and promotion, the Library requires that permission to publish is obtained prior to publication.
The Library no longer charges publication fees except under exceptional circumstances where a fee may be negotiated.
Request a permission to publish
All requests for permission to publish should be made in writing, giving details of the item/s required and their proposed use. The requirement for permission to publish is based on ownership, not copyright, to ensure:
- copyright and donor provisions are met
- the State Library of South Australia receives due acknowledgement and promotion for use of material from its collections
- material is cited in a way that ensures it can be found by other researchers.
A request for permission to publish/quote for copies form is available for this purpose either as a PDF or as a Word file:
