Image Licensing
Original photographs and selected archival material from the TŰZKERESZT Digital Archive may be licensed for historical publications, exhibitions, documentaries, educational projects and other serious research-based use.
High-resolution digital scans are available for selected material. Licensing requests are evaluated individually depending on the intended use, format, distribution and publication context.
Image licensing is not only a way of supporting the continued preservation and digitisation of the archive. More importantly, it allows original historical photographs to reach a wider audience through books, exhibitions, research and educational projects.
Every licensed image contributes to the continued preservation, digitisation and documentation of original historical material.
Images published through the TŰZKERESZT Digital Archive and associated SmugMug galleries are presented as watermarked reference copies, normally resized to approximately 1500 pixels on the longest side.
These files are intended for research, identification and private study. High-resolution archival master scans are preserved separately and are available for publication, exhibition and editorial licensing upon request.
