Every academic author knows the pain of getting the image permissions for their articles, books and other publications. It takes a huge amount of time, money and frustration. However, many institutions will allow free reproduction of images of their collections for academic and scholarly publications if they fulfil certain criteria, depending on the institution.
This site lists those generous institutions and their conditions. Please send an email if you know of more to add.
Please note: there are no images reproduced on this site as it makes it harder to scroll through and adds data usage. Please use the links in each entry to search for images.
