Guidelines for Using Images and Text from The New York Public Library

As part of its public service mission, The New York Public Library provides reproductions of certain items from its collections, for PERSONAL or RESEARCH USE ONLY. Any other use, including but not limited to commercial or scholarly publication, exhibition, online/web site, broadcast/film, home video, and promotional use without prior written permission of the Library is strictly prohibited. Granting or withholding of permission is determined by the Library on a case by case basis, and a usage fee is required.

Users should be aware that materials made available directly through the divisions and through this web site may be subject to additional restrictions including but not limited to copyright and the rights of privacy and publicity, of parties other than the Library. USERS ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for determining the existence of such rights and for obtaining any other permissions, and paying associated fees, which may be necessary for the proposed use.

Permission to Reproduce British Library Images

The Picture Library holds copyright in all its images. The Library is only permitted to make available images from books and manuscripts on which the original authors and artists copyright has now expired because they died more than 70 years ago, unless special permission has been granted by the rights holder. In common with all other heritage image libraries, the British Library charges fees for the reproduction of images from its collection in publications, in exhibitions, and in any public electronic media.

Our Permissions section can provide details of charges if you require British Library images for publication, broadcast or display rather than for research or private study. For some academic non-profit books the fees may be reduced by agreement. If you need an image for Website use please specify in your initial contact so we can provide a digital image with our watermark embedded.
