Requests must be secured in writing (see detailed instructions below) from the department for any kind of publication or distribution. Exceptions are described below in "Allowable Uses."

Copyright Information
The University of Oregon Libraries Special Collections and University Archives, is the owner of the images it offers for purchase. However, in many instances, the Library does not necessarily own copyright of the photograph, manuscript, or underlying object or work of art itself, which may be owned by an separate individual, artist, artist’s estate, or other person or entity. The Library endeavors to provide information that it possesses about the copyright status for such works; however, the Library offers no guarantee that all pertinent information is provided or that the information is correct in each circumstance.

Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the person seeking permission from the Library to determine whether any additional permission, such as copyright clearance, is necessary and, if so, for obtaining the required permission and related written documentation. The Library is not responsible for any costs, claims, liabilities, or damages incurred as a result of any violation of copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights, or other claims arising from use of its images.

Allowable Uses
The Library invites users to download, print, photocopy, and distribute the images on its website for personal or classroom use, without prior written permission, provided that the files are not changed, the Library copyright notice (where applicable) is included, and the source of the image is identified as the University of Oregon Libraries Special Collections and University Archives (see the Libraries’ preferred citation format below). All other uses, except those that may be permitted by law, shall require prior written permission from the UO Libraries Special Collections and University Archives.

Submitting an Image and Permissions Request

To order a digital image and permissions request for use from UOSCUA, please read, complete, and sign the Image and Permissions Request form, and then submit via mail or email (spcarref@uoregon.edu). The request form can be saved and emailed directly from the PDF form.

Most orders require scanning and use fees associated with the request; please review the fee rates before submitting your order. All fees will be separately invoiced directly to the requestor for payment to UO Libraries. All orders are processed in order of receipt and are reviewed by a Curator for permissions approval, who may alter the terms and fees based upon the type of request.

No evidence of the photographer’s printing style may be available. We compensate for visual defects through dodging, burning and filtration techniques. No additional retouching is done to eliminate imperfections existing in the negative or the original material. Sizes referred to in the pricing schedule reflect the size of the enlarging paper and not the dimensions of the reproduced image. The complete image will be printed unless cropping is requested.
