Use of the NHA Photograph Collections

Step One: Find An Image
Search our online database, record the image number(s) of images you would like to order. The Nantucket Historical Association also owns many other images available for reproduction. Access to these may require an inhouse search.

Step Two: Determine What Format You Want
Images are available in many different formats, including:
- digital (which can either be written to CD or emailed to you),
- printouts on matte or glossy paper (8 1/2" x 11" or smaller),
- exhibition-quality prints (sizes from 5"x 7" to 20" x 33").
A full listing of formats is available on our List of Image Reproduction Charges (pdf file).

Step Three: Place An Order
For both inhouse, mail, and email requests for photographs, the Photograph Order Form (pdf) should be used. Send your completed form to NHA Research Library Photograph Collections, Attention Marie Henke, 7 Fair Street, Box 1016, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554-1016; FAX: 508.325.7968; Email: ralph at nha.org.

Step Four: Determining Use, or Are You Hoping To Publish This Image?
Images reproduced from the collections of the NHA are for viewing and personal use only. Reproduction is for one use only in one format. Permission for commercial use or any publication, manipulation, display or distribution is only granted by written application. Please fill out and return the Application for Permission to Reproduce Images (pdf file) to formally request permission for usage beyond personal use.

Reproduction of images requires application and is nontransferable. The NHA may limit publication due to copyright restrictions (see our copyright statement). All reproductions must include proper citation. The applicant agrees to send the repository two copies of the work containing the reproduction at no charge. Reproduction is permitted only from prints, transparencies, or digital images supplied by NHA. No original photographs will be loaned.

Step Five: Payment of Image Reproduction & Use Fees
Obtaining and/or publication of any image from the collections held by the NHA is subject to use fees, according to a schedule. Click here to view the List of Image Reproduction Charges (pdf file).

Step Six: Delivery
Minimum order time for July-August is 5 weeks, for September-June is 3 weeks. Requests for rush orders may receive a rush charge. When prints are shipped, the cost of shipping will be added onto your charges; if a patron has a FedEx account, this number can be used if the number is supplied.
