Originating chiefly from publication projects, photographs are catalogued and available for certain types of re-use. A limited selection of duplicates is immediately available for purchase or qualified loan.
Most requests involve new duplication.
The Photo CD Library contains nearly 1,000 photographs dating from 1991 to the current year. Created on a Kodak Photo CD Imaging Work Station by an outside service provider, each CD contains as many as 100 random photos. In most cases, each photo was burned to disc at 5 resolutions ranging from 128 x 192 to 2048 x 3072 pixels, although a few photographs are also resolved at 4096 x 6144 pixels. As of May 2000, eighteen separate Photo CDs comprise the CD library. This information may be found by a search command within each index, but not across indices.
