Arnold Genthe Collection: Negatives and Transparencies
Copyright and Other Restrictions
The photographs Arnold Genthe made for his own use are considered to be
in the public domain. Other photographs, however, may have been produced
as "work for hire" and copyright may be held by the original client. Privacy
and publicity rights may also apply. It is the patron's obligation to determine
and satisfy copyright or other use restrictions when publishing or otherwise
distributing materials found in the Library's collections.
To assist researchers, the Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Division
made every effort to include in the catalog record client/sitter names that
could be deciphered from the photographer's sleeves and logbook. If such names
are not included in the catalog records, there is no further information.
The Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Division prohibits service of
original negatives and transparencies; therefore access to the original Genthe
negatives and transparencies is restricted.. Photoduplication and other forms
of copying allowed by "fair use" is permitted.

General Statement on Copyright and Other Restrictions
The Library of Congress is offering broad public access to this material as a
contribution to education and scholarship. Some materials in this collection
may be protected by the U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.) and/or by the copyright
or neighboring-rights laws of other nations. More information about U.S. Copyright
is provided by the Copyright Office. Additionally, the reproduction of some materials
may be restricted by terms of Library of Congress gift or purchase agreements,
donor restrictions, privacy and publicity rights, licensing
and trademarks.
Transmission or reproduction of protected items beyond that allowed by fair
use requires the written permission of the copyright owners.
The nature of historical archival collections means that copyright or other
information about restrictions may be difficult or even impossible to determine.
Whenever possible, the Library provides information about copyright owners
and other restrictions in the catalog records, finding aids, special-program
illustration captions, and other texts that accompany collections. The Library
provides such information as a service to aid patrons in determining the appropriate
use of an item, but that determination ultimately rests with the patron.
As a publicly supported institution the Library generally does not own rights
to material in its collections. Therefore, it does not charge permission fees
for use of such material and cannot give or deny permission to publish or otherwise
distribute material in its collections. It is the patron's obligation to determine
and satisfy copyright or other use restrictions when publishing or otherwise
distributing materials found in the Library's collections. The Library of Congress
is eager to hear from any copyright owners who are not properly identified
so that appropriate information may be provided in the future.
