Your responsibility when publishing

You are responsible for clearing any copyright permissions. You may need consent from the photographer, artist, or rights holder before publishing. This may apply, for example, when an image contains a work of art.

Send us a reference copy

If you publish the photo in print, please send a copy to our library. We usually add it to the museum library catalogue, and sometimes to the Royal Library’s LIBRIS catalogue.
