Reference Copies: Researchers can photograph with a hand-held camera. Due to the fragility of the items, use of our copy machine is not allowed for this collection. No personal scanners are permitted in the reading room. You can find general Photography Policies in the Using the Reading Room section in the Prints & Photographs Reading Room website.

Quality Copies: You may purchase quality scans of individual items through Library of Congress Duplication Services. In placing an order, researchers should cite call number (Unprocessed in PR 13 CN 2010:100 (Hunt)), item information (title of the drawings, photographs, sketchbooks, etc.), and accession number if available (e.g. 79.1234; p80.5678), preferably with a reference copy to ensure accurate fulfillment of the request.

Digitized Images: Researchers can download existing digital files.

• Most images from the Hunt Collection have a Rights Advisory of "No known restrictions on publication" and can be viewed at larger size and downloaded from anywhere. You can include "No known restrictions" in your search to try to focus on rights-free images.
• Images that have a Rights Advisory of "Publication may be restricted" will only be shown at thumbnail size outside Library of Congress buildings. Researchers can download larger files for such images when on site in any Library of Congress building while using Library public workstations or the Library wireless connection. In downloading such images, researchers acknowledge that they are responsible for clearing any permissions for use of potentially rights restricted images. Alternatively, researchers can purchase downloads of larger files through Library of Congress Duplication Services, acknowledging in placing the order that they are responsible for clearing any necessary permissions.
