NPS The Reading Room has a copy machine for the use of researchers. A limited number of copies can be made with staff permission. Requests for copies of material from the library must be made in writing and are limited thirty (30) pages per request. Some materials may not be reproduced due to condition or restricted use outside of the park. Antietam National Battlefield reserves the right to refuse requests from parties outside of the National Park Service where conflict in copyright and ownership of materials may arise and requests for documents/files/collections beyond the limited amount noted above.
