Riverside Public Library

How to obtain copies

Photocopies may be made if, in the judgment of the staff, reproduction will not damage the materials. In some cases staff will make the photocopies depending on the material to be copied. Microfilm reader/printers are also available for client use. Library users assume all liability for copyright infringement.

Duplicate prints of photographs are available for purchase. Negatives always remain the property of the Riverside Public Library and are not sold. To purchase a copy of a photograph clients must complete a photo order form. Orders typically take two weeks, longer if a special size or crop is required. Full payment is required at time of placing order.

Reproduction & Use Fees

Reproductions from the collections are available according to the following policy, procedures, and fee schedule. Some materials may not be available for copying due to physical condition or other restrictions. Reproductions are sold for personal/reference use only and may not be displayed or published without payment of appropriate fees (see below). All responsibility for questions of copyright that may arise in copying and/or use of the copies must be assumed by the user.

Procedure for completion of Application for Permission to Publish & Request for Reproduction

Anyone desiring to use an image housed in the Riverside Local History Resource Center must fill out a Request for Reproduction (LH/29). An Application for Permission to Publish (LH/34) is also required if the image is to be used for physical publication or similar electronic use.

These forms include personal information about the applicant and a declaration of the intended use of the material, including type of publication and format of the image(s) to be used (media, display, personal use, etc.). Additional questions relate to how the image(s) are to be used (commercial or nonprofit use) which will determine what fees will be charged (see Fee Schedule). The material requested, either for reproduction or for publication should be described, along with the call number and accession number of the image in question. The quantity of images should be noted and the size of each image required should be listed.

Both forms carry a disclaimer, which requires a courtesy credit line to be used for every image that is published or displayed, either for commercial or nonprofit use.

Included on the forms is the statement that all rights to images reproduced by the RLHRC are retained by the Riverside Public Library. Any liability incurred through the use or publication of the image rests solely with the client.
