About this Research Service:
Film files will be delivered as watermarked mp4 files or unwatermarked high definition (ProRes 2K) MOV files. (DVD delivery available upon request.)

Video files will be delivered as watermarked mp4 files or unwatermarked standard definition (DV50) MOV files. (DVD delivery available upon request.)

We will not digitize/deliver portions of media such as time-stamped film snippets or single songs from an album. Customers will receive a digital copy of the entire item.

Due to copyright and/or donor restrictions, some items cannot be duplicated. Staff reviews all orders and will contact you with additional options if item cannot be duplicated.

Specific KSTP-TV materials can be requested using this service; identification/locator numbers are required. Please see the KSTP-TV Archives page for more information.

Important note
If media will be used for production or other public use, further permission and licensing is required. Granting permission for duplication does not grant permission to exhibit, quote from, or broadcast this item.

Turnaround 
Staff will be in contact within two weeks of request with total cost.
