Formats and Fees

Digital Files

Image files include photographs, maps, and manuscripts. Most items are scanned at 600 PPI at original size, though photographic negatives are scanned at higher resolutions. Files will be delivered as JPEGs via Dropbox links unless otherwise requested in the Special Instructions section of the order form. (Specifications of audio and video files vary, but the highest quality available will be provided.) For materials that have not been digitized, an hourly rate applies rather than a charge per file. The minimum cost for such requests is $20. (Most requests for A/V materials that have not been digitized will be referred to a vendor.)

Reference

Fee may apply if no file name is given and the location of original material is unknown.

Commercial Use

If intended use is commercial (see definitions below), contact ADAH staff to determine if additional fees apply.

Payment Options

Checks and money orders should be payable to ADAH. Please include a driver’s license number on personal checks. (A fee of $30 may be assessed for returned checks.)

Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are also accepted. Staff will call for card information; please indicate availability in the Special Instructions section of the order form. Regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Central Time).
