While one of the main concerns of the archives is the permanent preservation of these invaluable historical images, their use by interested researchers is also encouraged. In order to preserve properly the collections for future generations, make them available for current use, and honor the rights of copyright owners, the following policies have been established. Visual materials cannot be borrowed. All reproduction work is done through the Institute. No attempt is made to provide archival quality prints.
All reproductions made are for personal reference use only.
They are not to be reproduced or displayed without the written permission of the Institute or NDSU Archives. Possession of a reproduction does not constitute permission to publish it. In requesting to reproduce materials from these collections, the requester agrees to indemnify and hold the Institute, NDSU Archives and its staff harmless and free from liability for acts of the requestor in any action involving infringement of the rights of any person or heirs and descendants under statutory copyright. Most photographs will be fully cataloged before the copies are given to the requester. All known identifying information will be included.
