Lisa,
Please take a look at the RC's RARIN website (Rights and Reproduction
Information Network).  There you will find sample charges and a wealth of
information on rights and repro for museums.  I doubt you have the rights
to the Edgerton images (his heirs probably do unless they were signed over
to a third party.

This is ringing some bells with me - I seem to recall a large Edgerton
project happening at MIT - Can anyone chime in here?

Anyway, it is incumbent upon the party who wants to use them to obtain
rights to reproduce.  But do check the website - it has been found to be
very useful!
