    • Obtaining Copies

    You can download it yourself if an image is being displayed. However, please note that on this site, only some images are displayed as thumbnails due to considerations of image size and copyright from the Library of Congress, so you may need to access larger images elsewhere.

    Alternatively, you can buy duplicates of different kinds through the Duplication Services of the Library of Congress.

  • If there is a digital image that was directly made from the original and is sufficient for resolution, then it is most likely for publication purposes. If the digital image is a reproduction number that starts with LC-DIG, it includes the Reproduction Number field above. The qualities of the digital image depend on whether it was made from an intermediate transparency or negative copy, or directly from the original. If the purpose is displaying a digital image, then the qualities of the image depend partially on the digital reproduction.
  • If there is information listed in the Reproduction Number field above: You can use the reproduction number to purchase a copy from Duplication Services. It will be made from the source listed in the parentheses after the number.

    Obtain your copy of the authentic version in color by referencing the specified Call Number and including the catalog record (“About This Item”) if only black-and-white (“b&w”) sources are mentioned and you wish to obtain a copy displaying color or tint (provided that the original contains any). Typically, you can acquire a high-quality colored reproduction of the original.

  • In addition to your request for the catalog record (“About This Item”), please include the mentioned Call Number and provide a reference to a high-quality version that is typically available for purchase through Duplication Services in case the Reproduction Number field is empty.

    • Price catalogs, contact details, and purchase documents can be found on the Duplication Services website.

    Access to Originals

    Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a slip and call out a surrogate image in the Reading Room for Photographs and Prints to view the original item(s), often available in the form of a digital image or microfilm/print copy.

  • Has the item been digitized? (A small thumbnail image will be visible on the left side.)

  • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions. As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
  • No, the item is not digitalized. Please proceed to number 2.

  • Does the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate the presence of a non-digital alternative, such as microfilm or copy prints?

  • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
  • No, another substitute does not exist. Please proceed to #3.
  • If you need advice on how to fill out a slip and call out the staff when an item is being served, you can refer to the staff. In the future, if you require appointments for other materials on the same day or later, you can fill out a slip. In many cases, originals can be served in just a few minutes. Please fill out a slip to call out the staff in the Reading Room for Photographs and Prints if you cannot see another surrogate or thumbnail image.
