Reproductions

Ordering Reproductions

Digital and/or photographic reproductions of materials are available for a fee upon request. The estimated turn-around time for orders is two weeks after the Digital Lab receives the approved order.

Provision of photocopies, photographic prints, or digital reproductions does not constitute permission to publish, distribute, provide internet access to, or otherwise display images generated by The University of Southern Mississippi. Copyright is retained by the lawful copyright holder, and it is the responsibility of the permission seeker to contact and secure permissions from the copyright holder. Where copyright permission is not granted, materials are only for use in private study subject to the Fair Use exceptions made in U.S. Copyright Law.

Digital Reproduction and Publication Fees

As custodian of collections at the University of Southern Mississippi, Special Collections assesses digital reproduction and publication fees to offset the costs of digitization and maintenance. Publication fees apply to print, digital, internet, video and film media. Publication fees apply to textual materials whether reproduced as images or transcriptions. In most instances, the University is not the copyright holder; patrons are solely responsible for obtaining permission from the copyright holder and for paying such fees as the copyright holder requires.
