FEES. Fees are for one-time, non-exclusive use. Re-use of the material in a later edition or in another publication will be considered a new request.
SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS: Applicants may request a waiver or reduction of fees for reproduction of an image in a non-profit or scholarly publication. The request should be submitted in writing and approval is at the discretion of Archives and Special Collections. A scholarly publication is defined as one that reproduces an image for an educational/cultural purpose and is directed to a limited educational/professional audience with, for books, a limited press run of under 3,000 copies.
OTHER CHARGES: In addition to the photographic usage fee, there will be applicable charges for duplication costs and materials. See reproduction fee schedule.

Photo Credits Required

If permission is granted for images to be published, photo credits must appear adjacent to the image using the exact text as supplied with each image. Digital use (i.e. World Wide Web, CD-ROM) images must also include a photo credit and be published on a website at 72 dpi or lower only. Failure to list the photo credit will result in a $100 fine per image.
