• Permission to reproduce, publish, broadcast or display a Society photograph must be requested in writing. The request should include the title, author, publishing year, name of publishing company or organization responsible, and the catalog number, locator or negative number of the work.

• Photographs may be cropped to suit design and layout, but they may not be altered or drawn upon so that they look in any way different from the way they appear in the historical collection.
• The Society reserves the right to refuse to grant permission and/or provide photograph reproduction services to publishers and individuals who have not complied with its policies.
• The New Jersey Historical Society reserves the right to decline to reproduce fragile items or for inappropriate use.
