Services and Fees

        

Photo Duplication Policy
The Archives provides copies for personal research use only. Photocopies and digital images provided to researchers may not be distributed, published online, or placed in another repository without permission. Purchase of a photo copy or photo image does not constitute the sale of the information contained or the copyrights thereto.  The Archives retains full rights to all reproductions under its ownership. The Archives cannot honor requests to copy complete files or large parts of a record series. Fragile paper records, particularly brittle bound volumes, will be copied at the discretion of the Archivist.

Photo Duplication Fees
The minimum rate for photocopying and photo image scanning of documents is $5.50 per order. A charge of 25 cents is levied for each page (a ten page order would cost $8.00).  There is no minimum charge for photocopy orders processed on site. There is no charge for copies placed by employees of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, or for members of the General Convention of The Episcopal Church.

Photographic Reproduction Services
The Archives will supply photographic prints upon request. Copies will be made for personal use, historical research, and scholarly and trade publications. Fees paid for photo reproduction do not constitute sale of the image or license to distribute. Royalty payments for one time use of images are limited to the stated purpose of the intended use. The Archives retains full rights to all reproductions. The cost of reproduction for personal use is $35 per print for a 5x7 print. For prints larger than 5x7 and for reproduction in formats other than the standard black and white print, charges will be calculated upon receipt of an estimate.

Royalties and Publication Rights
The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America is the sole copyright owner of manuscript items held in title by the Archives. Reproduction for publication of photographic images and textual records is subject to a royalty payment. Single item photographs, documents and other images are assessed a royalty fee of $75 per document or image for trade, and $45 per document or image for nonprofit use. (The royalty fee is in addition to the cost of photographic reproduction as described above.) Written permission to publish from print or non-print works of the Society is required. Permission is not required and no fees are associated with the fair use reproduction of brief excerpts and quotations. Notification of such use of the archives is a courtesy, however, which is appreciated. Credit should be made as follows: Courtesy of The Archives of the Episcopal Church.
