Embedded Files
For any inquiries, please contact pattaniarchives@gmail.com. To expedite processing, the accession form with all required details and include it with your request. You may communicate with us in English or Gujarati.
Currently, not all of our collections are digitized. Therefore, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to visit us with prior notice and examine the selected archives in person. This also means that we may need some time and your support to make the requested files accessible to you. Library collection can be accessed on-site only.
If you are unable to visit us and would like to access any material remotely, we may need even more time to prepare everything for your perusal.
Once you have made any of these requests, we will evaluate your requirements:
Reference only images - We can share them in low resolution with a watermark; suitable for presentations, web publishing, and close investigation.
Publishing or print - We can share them in high resolution with/without a watermark, and we will discuss the usage criteria on a case-specific basis.
In either of these scenarios, the digitisation will be carried out by the Pattani Archives team for various reasons pertaining to the care of the archives, its proper representation, and creating the digital repository over time.
We may need up to a week or fifteen days to prepare and send the images, based on the nature of your request.
We are an open-access archive, and we don’t charge anything for research-based usage. However, we are particular about how different archival material gets photographed and used. Researchers are requested not to crop or edit the images after they have been shared by the Archives office.
In certain situations, the researcher will be required to bear/share the cost of digitisation. We will inform you before initiating the digitisation/photography processes.
Files will be scanned at high resolution, but only low-resolution watermarked images will be available online for reference. High-resolution un-watermarked images can be provided upon request, subject to review and approval based on the researcher's intended use.
Even if a researcher pays for the digitization of all materials from a file, full access to the entire collection will not be granted. Consider this a contribution to the archiving project or a gift to other researchers.
High-resolution scans of an entire report file will not be provided in order to prevent potential duplication and copyright issues, which could undermine the integrity of our archive.
