Written permission to publish or exhibit photographs must be secured from the head of Special Collections and Archives Department for each use. This permission is granted only for one-time use, in one publication, exhibit, or activity, in one edition, and in one language. Subsequent use of any sort requires specific written permission and the payment of the requisite fees.
Cropping or overprinting on any reproduction requires written permission from the head of Special Collections and Archives Department.
Before publication of any reproduction, the University of Idaho Library reserves the right to require a proof prior to final approval.
The publisher shall furnish the University of Idaho Library, without charge, one copy of publications in which reproductions appear.
Every effort should be made to secure and use correct caption data.
Each use of the materials MUST be accompanied by proper credit to the University of Idaho Library and to the photographer or creator (if known). Credit lines MUST include the negative or ID number. Suggested wording for the credit line would be: #ID , Historical Photograph Collection, University of Idaho Library, Moscow, Idaho.
The University of Idaho Library reserves the right to limit the number of images copied; to restrict the use or reproduction of rare or valuable material; and to levy special use fees in unusual circumstances.

In granting permission for publication or other use, the University of Idaho Library does not surrender its right to exhibit, publish, or otherwise reproduce the materials, nor to grant permission to others to do so.
