Use of FHS Photographic Images

Images displayed in the FHS Image Database and Photo Galleries are low-resolution versions provided for academic research purposes only; however, FHS allows authorized publication of images from its collections for most non-commercial uses. The Society is pleased to offer high-quality digital scans or print copies of images for purchase. Most images are subject to both reproduction fees and use fees.

Permission from the Forest History Society is required for any use of images. To obtain permission, please complete and sign two copies of the Application for Permission to Use Photographic Images from the Collections of the Forest History Society (a pdf file) and return to the fax number or address below. The Photographic Archivist will review the application, and if approved, will sign both copies and return one for your files (so be sure to include your fax number and/or mailing address). Photo credit should read: "Photo courtesy of the Forest History Society, Durham, N.C." Please be sure to read the FHS Copyright Notice.

Use of images is licensed under the terms of a specific project; any subsequent use must be reauthorized by the Forest History Society. All inquiries related to photographs, including reference inquiries, should be directed to Eben Lehman , Photographic Archivist, Forest History Society, 701 William Vickers Ave., Durham, N.C. 27701-3162; Tel.: (919) 682-9319; Fax: (919) 682-2349.
