Digital Picture Collection Licensing

This section contains the license agreements for The NYPL Digital Picture Collection images. Contact the Digital Picture Collection to find out more about how to license our images for publication or to purchase/download images images on CD. For information about your privacy while using this website, please read our Privacy Statement »

Licensing Overview

The following is a brief overview of the two kinds of license agreements we offer:

  1. Comping File License Agreement
    The Comping License governs the free comping files that you download from our website and the images contained in resource book comping discs. You can use comping files to take a closer look at a particular image or to create materials for proofing presentations to clients. Comping files are not licensed for use in final projects, whether for internal or external use.
  2. Rights-Managed File License Agreement
    The The NYPL Digital Picture Collection License Agreement governs usage of the images you purchase/download from The NYPL Digital Picture Collection. Rights-managed images are licensed by calculating several factors, including size, placement, duration of use and geographic distribution of the image(s). Royalty-free images can be used for multiple projects across a broad range of media over an unlimited period of time, but also require that you agree to the terms of the License Agreement. (Pornographic, defamatory, libelous or otherwise unlawful use of any image is prohibited.) Here are some examples of image uses for which you may need an image license:
    • Website, online and multimedia designs
    • Advertising and promotional campaigns, presentations and brochures
    • Book jackets and interior pages
    • Packaging for software, music albums, CDs, cassettes and videotapes
    • Calendars, greeting cards and posters
    • Trade show displays, billboards and exhibits
    • Products for resale in any quantity

For all uses The NYPL Digital Picture Collection requests that a credit appear either adjacent to the image(s) or on an obvious credits page or screen.

Images are not licensed for use in a downloadable or FTP format.

Pornographic use, use which would be defamatory or libelous absent the consent of the model or use which is otherwise unlawful is prohibited. If an Image featuring a person is used in a manner that implies endorsement, use of, or a connection to a product or service by that model, or a potentially unflattering or controversial subject, you must print a statement which indicates that the person is a model and is used for illustrative purposes only.

The NYPL Digital Picture Collection offers a comprehensive licensing program. If you have questions regarding licensing, please contact The NYPL Digital Picture Collection.

No part of the content of Licensor's catalogs or other advertising materials shall form a part of this Agreement. No action of Licensor, other than an express written waiver, may be construed as a waiver of any term of this Agreement. A delay on the part of either party in the exercise of its rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies, and a single or partial exercise by a party of any such rights or remedies will not preclude other or further exercise of that right or remedy. A waiver of a right or remedy on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of those rights or remedies on any other occasion. Should any clause of this Agreement be found unenforceable, that will not affect any other clause and each will remain in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms contained herein and the terms contained on any purchase/download order sent by Licensee, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement, its validity and effect, shall be interpreted under and governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without reference to its laws relating to conflicts of law.
