Copyright Restrictions
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies and other
reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are
authorized to furnish reproductions. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is
not to be used “for any purpose other than private study, scholarship or research.” If a user makes a request for,
or later uses, a reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright
infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment
of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
The Museum reserves the right to charge additional fees depending upon the requested usage. All fees are subject to change
