As a service to researchers, the MSRC provides reproductions of items in its collections for research, exhibition, publication, and other projects. Requests should be submitted to the Prints and Photographs Librarian using the MSRC order form or as a written request, which should include the following information: photo caption or description, box/folder number or location of the image, and the print size or resolution. The request should also include the information essential to granting a permission to publish, if applicable, e.g., title, publisher, date of publication or other types of release, and print run.
Reproductions and Copyright
Reproduction of graphic materials is in accordance with the limits of the Copyright Act and with Center policies. Reproduction is permitted if the copyrights have been transferred to the Center by the original owner or executor of the collection. Deposit of photographic reproductions in another repository is prohibited. Electronic transmission of images from MSRC collections is also prohibited.
The Center reserves the right to refuse the reproduction of materials whose condition is considered too fragile or deteriorated for safe handling.

Permission must be obtained from the MSRC and from the copyright owner if applicable. Permission to publish includes the following rights: non-exclusive, one-time use; world rights, all languages. Please check with the Prints and Photographs Librarian for clearance or to negotiate additional rights.
