Photographic Services

If you wish to purchase a reproduction for republication, you must contact the University of South Alabama Archives to obtain permission to use the image. Commercial use fees apply to both prints and slides. Information regarding our Commercial Use Fee Policy is available as well as our Regulations for Use and Reproduction of Materials.

Reproductions of Images in our collections are available in several formats:

Prints:

Prints are normally made on double weight F surface paper and processed to archival standards. Resin coated (RC) paper* for reproduction and other non-archival purposes is also available for smaller sizes on request. All panoramas are printed on RC paper.

Additional charges may be assessed for orders involving special darkroom handling. Prices are subject to change without notification.

Slides:

35mm slides are $5.00 each; minimum order $30.00.

Commercial use fees apply to slides as well as prints.

Scans:

Each scan is $10.00 delivered electronically. There is an additional 1.00 charge for each CD-Rom, if requested, and a $2.00 shipping and handling fee for mailing. 

Commercial use fees apply to scans as well as prints and slides.

Copy Work:

Some of the Archives' collections contain photographs with no negatives. If a reprint is requested, there will be a $15.00 charge to make a copy negative in addition to the print price. The negative will remain the property of the USA Archives.

Delivery Time:

Please allow at least ten working days for your order to be processed. Sepia toned prints will be batch processed, and this may cause a delay. Rush orders may be possible at double the price.

Before processing can begin, a 50% deposit, by check or money order, is required for orders that will be picked up. If your order has not been picked up within 60 days from the time it was completed, your deposit is forfeited and the prints placed for sale to others.

Orders that are mailed require full payment, by check or money order, before processing can begin. There is a minimum $3.00 charge for mailing up to six 5x7 or 8x10 prints, and a $5.00 charge for mailing up to four prints 11x14 or larger.
