1. Guidelines for website use of low-resolution images
(≤ 72 dpi)

You may use images downloaded from the Edgerton Digital Collection (EDC) website for non-profit or academic purposes free of charge. We ask that you submit a request (see form at very bottom of page) and identify the images you use with an appropriate caption and a clear credit line as follows:

© 2010 MIT. Courtesy of MIT Museum.

Keep us informed about how you are using materials from our website, as we are keen to document the ways in which Edgerton’s images are perceived, interpreted, shared and transformed in today’s digital world. Thank you!

2. Guidelines for print, electronic and video publication of high-resolution images (> 72 dpi)

For high-resolution image publication of Edgerton materials in print, electronic or video format or any other use, we require that you sign a Permission Use Agreement and provide prepayment of associated Reproduction Fees. EDC images must be provided with an appropriate caption and a clear credit line as follows:

© 2010 MIT. Courtesy of MIT Museum.

You will also be asked to provide one copy of your publication or product for the Museum’s records.

Most permissions are granted for a one-time, non-exclusive right to publish a single edition in a single language. Additional uses require additional permission to publish and the payment of additional fees, and are determined on a case-by-case basis.

At this time, the MIT Museum does not provide high-resolution images from the Edgerton Digital Collection for personal use.

Please provide as much detail as possible about your publication proposal in the request form along with full contact information.
