[Genealib] Photograph Collections

[Bill Copeley]

I agree with Susan Scouras about scanners in the library.  We do not
allow scanning by researchers, but we offer that as a library service.
We charge $25 per image for a high-resolution scan, which can be put on
a CD or sent via e-mail.  We charge extra for any commercial use of an
image, an additional $25 - $200, depending on the specific use.  

 

We do allow digital cameras, and researchers must sign a form to say
they will pay the regular fee as for Xerox copies, and they not be
publishing the images.

The policies, use agreements and fee structure for photographs and

audiovisual collections of the West Virginia State Archives/Archives and

History Library are posted on our Web site.  Go to Sections 5.3, 7.2 and

7.3, then the links at the bottom of the page for the explanatory sheets

and forms:    http://www.wvculture.org/history/rr.html

 

If you want control of your collections, #1 rule is to not allow any

kind of camera or scanning device in your library, or require specific

permissions to photograph or scan.

      Hello,

 

       

 

      I am looking for information on what other organizations are

doing to control their photograph collections.  Right now we do not do

anything in place, so conceivably someone could come in scan them then

copy and sell them for personal profit.  

 

       

 

      I am curious to see what other institutions are doing regarding

reproduction agreements, fee structures, crediting  etc.  

 

       

 

      Any information would be appreciated.

 

       

 

      Thanks,
