Marie,
Cape Fear Museum's Image Archive Collection was created so we would have a
home for images copied from individuals who wished to share their photos
with the museum without giving up the originals. We have an Image Archive
Contract that grant CFM permission to make the image available to
outsiders. The contract also states that CFM understands the owner "does
not transfer legal and beneficial title nor copyright and literary rights
associated with the photograph(s)/graphic image(s)." We then ask the
individual if they want to place any restrictions on the image (there is
space to write restrictions on the back of the contract). Finally, the
contract makes it clear that we will, unless restricted, make the image
available to "other educational projects, researchers, nonprofit
institutions and/or for-profit organizations." In our Image Reproduction
Policy we have a list of fees for various uses from broadcast use to
publication to business decoration, etc.
Let me know if you would like me to send you copies of our Image Archive
Contract and Image Reproduction Policy as e-mail attachments.
Good luck!
Tim

Subject: looking for sample forms
The Rogers Historical Museum (Arkansas) borrows a lot of historic images
for
copying from individuals. We keep the negatives and use the images for our
own exhibits, in-house publications, publicity, etc., with the lender's
tacit permission. Sometimes outside museums, authors, individuals,
businesses, etc., ask to use an image, so we contact the lender for their
written permission. As this is getting to be a cumbersome arrangement,
we'd
like to develop an agreement between our museum and the lender for general
unconditional use of the image. I plan to include language about how we
anticipate loaned images will be used (based on past experience), and that
we will treat the image as we do our own, with certain restrictions imposed
on specific use applications (e.g., an image can't be used in an
undignified
way).
There are so many permutations (e.g., we charge a use fee for our own
images, but what about a loaned photo? what if the lender should die?
should
we limit use to scholarly applications or allow commercial use?) that I'm
not sure I can create an effective, useful agreement. I feel that if I
give
the lender options for permission on various issues, like choosing from a
menu, it will complicate more than simplify.
Does anyone have suggestions or sample forms to share? Thanks!
