Ordering new images and high-resolution images on file
Starting January 1, 2020, we are unable to guarantee that we will be able to fulfill requests for images requiring new photography. See our main imaging page for more information. You may place an order for new images and we’ll discuss options with you.
If you require special cropping, sizing, resolution, or other adjustment of an image already present in our digital image collection, there is a 4-6 week turnaround time. Rush services are not available.
Once we have determined we can fill your request, we will send a formal cost estimate. Prepayment is required.
After reviewing your estimate, please complete the prepayment form and return it to the photography department with payment. We accept credit cards, institutional purchase orders, and checks in US dollars, which must be drawn from a US bank. Credit card payment may be made using Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. Unfortunately, we are not able to process debit cards at this time.
Specifications
Tif format, and special cropping are available on request. Please specify dimensions and file size needed. For alternative delivery method or additional specifications please include in "Instructions."
Delivered images generally include entire text block to edge of binding or page unless otherwise requested (see example).
