For these purposes, you may reproduce a single copy (print or download) of materials from this website without prior permission.
All items may be protected by the U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.). Usage of some items may also be subject to additional restrictions imposed by the copyright owner and/or the repository.

Please contact the collection holding repository for available information regarding copyright status of a particular digital image, text, audio or video recording.
The nature of historical archival and manuscript collections often makes it difficult to determine the copyright status of an item. Whenever possible, RIAMCO and the collection holding repository provide available information about copyright owners and other restrictions in the catalog records, collection finding aids, and other metadata associated with digital images, texts, audio and video recordings.
RIAMCO and the holding repositories provide the aforementioned information as a service to aid users in determining the copyright status of an item. Ultimately, however, it is the user's responsibility to use an item according to the terms governing its use.
The owning repositories are eager to hear from any copyright owners who are not properly identified so that appropriate information may be provided to researchers and teachers in the future.
