2. Print and video

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

For image publication of Edgerton materials in print, electronic or video format or any other use, a signed Permission Use Agreement is required along with payment of associated Reproduction Fees. Requestors will also be asked to provide one copy of the 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.

Fees are determined by the publication’s anticipated market. Current use fees for non-commercial use range from $20 to $80 per item dependent on use and market. Please be in touch regarding current fees for commercial uses. Additional fees apply to non-print media, and are determined on a case-by-case basis. Prepayment of fees can be made by check, money order or credit card through the Museum’s secure online site. Special rates apply to the MIT community.

Products and other uses – this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Please fill out the form below and provide as much detail as possible about your proposal along with full contact information and how you can be reached.
