PHOTOCOPYING & PHOTODUPLICATION GUIDELINES AND FEES (6/06)

 

The Jackson County Historical Society desires to make its materials as widely available as possible, while also providing for the proper conservation of its collections. Photocopies of documents, and duplications of photographic images may be made available for nominal fees (use fees may also apply). These fees reimburse the Society for staff time, office, production, preservation and mailing costs.

 

Researchers must identify the documents or photographs that they desire reproductions. This may require on-site research into collections; staff may assist with research requests, as delineated in our personal, historical research guidelines.

 

The Society recognizes the growing demand for electronic scans of photographs. It also understands this service diminishes the Society’s capability for providing for the long-term preservation of its collections because an archival negative is not produced when scans are made.  When a scan is requested for a photograph, the patron’s fee will allow for preservation negatives to be made. Researchers may not individually photograph, digitize or otherwise reproduce materials in the collection. Photoduplication of graphic files will be outsourced under the direct supervision of Society staff.

 

The Society gives no exclusive rights for use of its materials. Permission is granted for ONE TIME USE ONLY, whether for private use, publication, display or broadcast. All negatives remain the property of the Society. The patron assumes all responsibility for questions of copyright that may arise in the use made of reproduced material provided by the Society. The Society will make available to the use any copyright information it has. Unless otherwise specified, proper citation of materials must credit each reproduction to:

Jackson County (Mo.) Historical Society Archives.
