Photographs of museum exhibit spaces and collections are allowed for personal use only. Flash photography is not permitted.
For researchers:
- Researchers wishing to take photographs using their own cameras or other equipment must first obtain permission from the archivist for each photograph desired. Materials may have copyright or other restrictions which limit the use of their image.
- All photographs are to be used for research purposes only and may not be reproduced, shared, exhibited, or published in print or online.
- Manuscripts, records, or collections may not be reproduced in their entirety. Photographs are meant to help supplement note taking and allay the amount of scanning and photocopying necessary. Researchers should limit the number of photographs taken to a reasonable amount.
- Digital cameras and mobile phone cameras must be set to ‘silent’ and to ‘still photography’ mode. Mobile phones cannot be used to take calls in the reading room but can be used for text messaging in silent mode. Flashes, tripods, scanners, or other specialized equipment are not permitted.
- The CHRIEC reserves the right to examine and/or request copies of all photographs taken.
