Image Rights and Reproductions

All images issued by the Museum of International Folk Art are subject to these Terms and Conditions.

Copyright: The Museum of International Folk Art owns copyright to copy photography and documents created by the Museum. Copyright to the works of art and to other materials typically belongs to their respective creators, their estates, or assignees. The Museum advises researchers that it is their responsibility to procure permission to publish reproductions from the collection from the owner of copyright. The researcher agrees to hold the Museum without blame for a violation of copyright laws, invasion of privacy, or any other improper or illegal use that may arise from the use of these reproductions.

1. Written permission to reproduce or publish photographic images must be secured from the Museum of International Folk Art (MOIFA). Permission is granted for one-time use only. All other rights, including those of further reproduction or publication, are reserved in full by the Museum of International Folk Art. Possession of a Museum image does not constitute permission to use or publish it.
2. Requests for alterations or variations to the images such as cropping, overprinting, or bleeding to edge must be made in writing to the Museum of International Folk Art.
3. All effort should be made to make photographic reproductions as faithful and accurate to the originals as possible. Before publication of any reproduction, the Museum of International Folk Art reserves the right to require proofs for final approval.
4. The Museum of International Folk Art may require and will furnish exact documentation to accompany each reproduction.
5. Credits. The credit line is mandatory.
   1. With printed matter, the credit lines shall appear on the same or facing page as the illustrations or with other "Sources of Illustrations." Crediting of each individual item is necessary in all cases.
   2. With films, filmstrips, and video use, the credit line shall be included with the other "Sources of Illustration." In manuals that accompany filmstrips, give credit at the point where the illustration is discussed.
   3. With exhibitions, the credit shall be shown within the exhibition area.
6. Publishers shall furnish the Museum of International Folk Art, without charge, one (1) copy of each publication in which the reproduction appears. If this copy is not provided, additional fees will be assessed.
7. Orders will not be processed until payment is received in full; the Museum of International Folk Art is not responsible for foreign banking fees. The granting of rights is contingent upon payment of fees.
8. The Museum of International Folk Art gives no exclusive rights to any publisher, author or photographer and assumes no responsibility for duplication of subjects by others.
9. It is the responsibility of the applicant to secure the rights to reproduce the requested images from the appropriate copyright holders.
