Non-Flash Photography

Patrons should investigate public domain status.

Distribution on Social Media is subject to all copyright and privacy considerations.

Creating a digital version is subject to the following:

    • Bound materials must remain in cradles and held open with supplied weights, or as directed by staff
    • Loose materials must remain flat on the table in folders.
    • Materials must remain in Mylar encapsulation.
    • No flashes, special lighting, tripods, scanners.
  2. Acknowledgement of the use of Special Collections materials to create the digital version: Special Collections, J. Willard Marriott Library, The University of Utah
