Rights and Reproductions Guidelines
The National Anthropological Archives and Human Studies Film Archives charge a use fee for images the archives supply for publication, distribution or exhibition in any format, including print and electronic media. Use fees support the collection, preservation and use of still and moving images. At the archives' discretion, fees may be waived, reduced, or publications accepted in lieu of of fees for non-profit or scholarly publications. All requests for fee waivers and reductions must be placed in writing.
In return for the use-fee payment, the archives grants permission for one-time, one-language, non-exclusive, worldwide use of an image. Re-use or resale of any image in another publication, edition, format or language is prohibited. Fees do not include the cost of image reproductions either as prints or as digital media.
With respect to electronic media, "one-time use" means that once an electronic product has been published, distributed or exhibited, you may not subsequently reformat, redesign, or otherwise alter the disks or screens on which the image appears, nor re-use the image in other products, nor allow others to use it. Digital reproductions must have a final resolution no greater that 72 dpi. Broadcast rights are not granted in perpetuity.
