photographic reprints

Do you see a photograph that you just have to have? Are you a researcher, web designer or media producer who needs a photograph for your project? Do you have a school history paper and need the perfect photograph to illustrate your text? We can help!

Original photographs come in numerous sizes and conditions of preservation, there are various technologies with varying costs for making copies, and there may be related issues of copyright and use agreements related to making and publishing copies of photographs. Additionally, it should be noted that all photocopying damages documents physically and chemically. Researchers are urged to make a good faith effort to take notes in lieu of requesting copies.

Reference Use means using a photograph in scholarly research, but does not include publication. No other rights are granted.

Commercial Use means using a photograph in a commercial application such as advertising. Rights are granted after payment of a Usage Fee.
