Create Images

If an image you need isn’t available in any of our databases, create one! The VRC is equipped with both flatbed and film scanners. Faculty and Students in the Humanities may use the order forms below to have the VRC digitize images. Others should contact visualresources@uchicago.edu for additional information.

Rather create your own images? Contact us to use one of our scanners. How-to guides are available below for Flatbed Scanning, Powerpoint, and Metadata.
