Photographic Services and Fees
The Reprographic Section in the Drawings and Archives Department
of Avery Library provides photographic reproductions of materials
for the purposes of study, publication, and other appropriate
uses.
The Library is not a photo archives and, as such, does
not maintain collections and files of photographs for the express
purpose of photo research.
It is the responsibility of the patron to determine if the
desired item is part of the Avery Library collection and from where
in the collection. In many cases, the credit line "Avery
Architectural and Fine Arts Library" on a photograph means
that the image comes from one of the 350,000 volumes within the
collection, rather than being an individual image owned by the
Library.
We only photograph items from Avery Library. Orders for
microfilm and photographs of items held by the
Rare Book and Manuscript Library must
be placed through them; orders for items from other departments
must be placed through the Preservation
Reformatting Department.
The fees listed below for ordering photographic copies do not
include permission fees where applicable. See
Permission Fees for Publication and Media
Use of Images from the Avery Collection.
The following fees are for standard orders. Additional fees may
be charged for certain kinds of reproductions or for the
reproduction of some objects. Negatives are retained by the
Drawings and Archives Department, Avery Library.
Bibliographic service fees and
postage and handling charges may be applied to
orders. FedEx delivery may be arranged. For
ordering instructions see below.
