#Photocopy vs copy portable#
Bring a USB stick or portable hard drive to save the images to when you visit. We have provided digital cameras and scanners at the North Melbourne and Ballarat reading rooms that you can use to copy records that you have requested to view. PROV does not accept any responsibility for any loss, damage or data corruption incurred as a result of the use of its IT systems or resources. Please note: The use of personal equipment such as USB drives and external hard disk drives on IT systems and resources (including computers, digital cameras and scanners) provided for public use in the Reading Room is undertaken entirely at the user’s own risk. Hand held or portable scanners are permitted to be used in the reading room to copy original records as long as these devices DO NOT come in contact with the record. Researchers can make copies of records free of charge using their own digital camera, provided that conditions of use are observed. Most original records held by PROV can be copied, except where copying would cause damage.
