For information regarding the collection of HALS/HAER/HABS: Survey Landscape American Historic and the survey of American Historic Engineering/Record of American Historic Buildings, please refer to the original items for access, as well as for material citation, publication, and reproduction details.
Obtaining Copies
You can download it yourself if an image is being displayed. (On the site, only some images are displayed as thumbnails because you have access to larger size images but there are considerations for rights outside the Library of Congress).
Alternatively, you can buy duplicates of different kinds through the Duplication Services of the Library of Congress.
If you are requesting to purchase a copy of the original record catalog, which includes the above listed Call Numbers, please specify if you desire a tinted or colored copy showing the original colors (assuming any exist). Please note that the available sources only provide “black-and-white” copies.
Price catalogs, contact details, and purchase forms can be found on the Duplication Services website.
Access to Originals
To determine whether you need to fill out a slip and call the Reading Room for Photographs and Prints in order to view the original item(s) in some cases, a digital image of the microfilm or print copy is often available as a substitute.
Has the item been digitized? (A small thumbnail image will be visible on the left.)
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate the presence of a non-digital substitute, such as microfilm or duplicate prints?
Please utilize our Ask A Librarian service or dial the reading room during the hours of 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and select 3 to reach Reference personnel in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room.
