Image licensing procedures

[Meta Partenheimer]

Hello,

I'm reaching out to colleagues in the historical collections field asking for insight into your image licensing procedures.

Here at the CHC, we're reviewing and updating our documentation and workflows for licensing and reproduction of images from our historical collections. Currently, our basic workflow is: we receive requests, create or pull the file from our collections, assign a fee if needed, and fill in an agreement form to be signed by the patron/customer.

Because every institution may do things a little differently, I'm reaching out to see if you would be willing to share your experiences, documentation, sample forms, tracking system, or anything else you think might be helpful as we begin to look at our procedures and fee schedule.

I'm happy to correspond over email, or set up a time to chat over phone or Zoom.

Thanks in advance for your time,
Meta
