High Resolution Images
The Society strives to provide high-resolution digital images of material in our collections for publication, motion picture or video reproduction, websites, exhibition, personal displays or other purposes. In most cases when reproducing manuscript items the MHS produces 600 dpi uncompressed TIFF files on CD. Small three-dimensional items (including books and items contained in manuscript volumes that cannot be placed on a flatbed scanner) are imaged using our digital camera. These images are generally RGB TIFF files with pixel dimensions of about 3900 x 2600 pixels. More detailed information about image outputs can be found here.
Once completed the TIFF files are sent by mail along with a letter detailing acceptable use of the images and all licenses granted. An invoice is sent under separate cover through out finance department.
Please note that fulfillment of standard orders can take up to six weeks from the time the order is confirmed. Orders placed during the summer months will take longer due to the high demand in the Society's reading room. Requests for more than six images and more difficult requests, including images of three-dimensional items that cannot be digitized on a flatbed scanner, will take longer and must be reviewed by the MHS staff before they will be considered as orders.
Cost for Obtaining Images
Standard reproduction fees are $45 per image for scans created from digital masters and $60 per image for scans that must be produced from the original item or an existing negative or transparency. In cases where an item cannot be imaged using standard equipment additional fees, up to $500, may apply.
While the MHS does not offer a standard “rush” option, the reproductions coordinator will review such requests on a case-by-case basis and, when staffing allows, expedite requests. Expedited requests filled within five business days of order confirmation will include a 150% surcharge on top of the standard reproduction fees.
The MHS typically sends all image materials on CD via USPS. If an express shipping service (FedEx, UPS, etc.) is requested, the requestor must pay all shipping fees. In cases where electronic delivery is requested, an additional $5 per image fee will be assessed.
The MHS does not waive reproduction fees or offer volume discounts for reproduction work, nor does it distinguish between for-profit and nonprofit publishers or producers.
Alternative Vendors for MHS Image Materials
Some of the most frequently requested items from the MHS collections are available for purchase through the Bridgeman Art Library. For a list of images available through Bridgeman, click here. When an item has been made available through Bridgeman, the MHS does not generally fill reproduction requests, though we will handle re-use requests licensing requests (see Permission and Licensing).
Images of over 50 maps owned by the MHS are available for purchase through Historic Map Works, a company that maintains a digital map database of North America and the world. For a list of MHS images available for purchase, as prints, through Historic Map Works
Offering historical photograph collections through Flickr gives the Library of Congress a welcome opportunity to share some of our most popular images with a new visual community.
We invite you to tag and comment on the photos, and we also welcome identifying information—many of these old photos came to us with scanty descriptions!
To view the photos on Flickr, go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/Library_of_Congress. You do not need a Flickr account to view the images; you would need to sign up for a free account to add comments or tags.
We are offering sets of digitized photos: the 1,600 color images from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, 1,500+ images from the George Grantham Bain News Service, selected panoramic photographs, portraits of jazz musicians and personalities by William P. Gottlieb from the Library of Congress Performing Arts Reading Room, and other photos from the Library of Congress collections that possess these qualities: they have long been popular with visitors to the Library; they have no known restrictions on publication or distribution, and they have high resolution scans. The Library's Newspaper and Current Periodical Reading Room is offering historic newspapers on the Library of Congress Flickr account.
We launched the pilot in January 2008. We have prepared a report on the results of the first nine months of the pilot. [ View summary report (PDF - 128 kb) | View full report (PDF - 1.3 mb). We look forward to continuing to see what types of tags and comments the images inspire.
With the launch of the Library of Congress pilot, Flickr began a new initiative called "The Commons." Cultural heritage institutions that join The Commons are sharing images from their photographic collections that have no known copyright restrictions as a way to increase awareness of these collections with the general public. For more information on The Commons, see: http://www.flickr.com/commons.
