Collection Image Request

For research use

To make our collections accessible, we do not charge for the supply of existing images for research use. We supply digital images for research in jpg format. Some of our older digital images may be of a lower quality. Additional requests for higher-resolution images or new digitisation may result in charges.
If you would like to request images from our collection for research purposes, please fill in the research collection image request form and return it via email to museum@rcsed.ac.uk

For reproduction

We have a charging structure for commercial use of our images. This structure is based on intended use and whether existing digitisation is available. A quotation will be provided if permission is granted. As an independent museum, we use the income from image licensing to further the digitisation of the collections.

If you would like to request images from our collection for reproduction purposes, please fill in the reproduction image request form and return it via email to museum@rcsed.ac.uk
