Library Charges and Fees
Photograph and Reproductions Rights and Fees
All requests for copies of materials or permission to use them must be made in writing to Washington County Museum collection staff. The written request must list specifically the materials requested, describe the nature of the project the materials are to be included in, and include the requestor’s name, address, telephone, e-mail, and affiliation. The Washington County Museum retains all rights and privileges to its materials. They may not be transferred or sold to anyone for any reason, or used for any purpose or at any location other than that stated in the written request. The fees below, and any permission granted, will be for one use, one publication, one edition, and in one language; any additional use of materials constitutes a second use, and permission must be specifically requested in writing and granted by the Washington County Museum in a separate document. The Museum requests that, upon publication, one copy of the publication be furnished at no charge.
Materials may not be duplicated without the prior written authorization of the Washington County Museum. Materials must be used without alteration, including but not limited to cropping, bleeding, and overprinting, unless approved in advance by museum staff, and the user agrees not to allow any modifications, additions, or subtractions, including electronically. Each individual item must be acknowledged visibly, in immediate proximity, with the complete credit line stating “Courtesy of the Washington County Museum, Portland, OR”. If materials will be used for television or film, the credit line must appear in the end credits.
The Washington County Museum reserves the right to make alterations or exceptions to the above policy at any time and for any reason. The Washington County Museum further reserves the right to refuse duplication requests or to charge fees on a case-by-case basis at its sole discretion. However, such discretion shall not be unreasonable imposed. The user agrees to release the Washington County Museum from liability or responsibility for any and all damage resulting from use of duplicated or licensed materials. The Washington County Museum makes no claim or provides no assessment of any copyright restrictions imposed on its materials, other than for materials for which the Museum holds all rights. It is the sole responsibility of the user to determine all materials’ status under copyright law, to ensure that use falls within legal limits, and to secure permission and rights from copyright holders.
