We provide the following services:
Digital reproductions are available for purchase as lower-resolution PDFs and high-resolution TIFF files (300/600ppi, 24-bit color, uncompressed).
Please note that possession of a digital reproduction of HSP’s collection materials does not constitute permission to publish or exhibit the image. Usage rights fees may apply and vary depending on whether a reproduction is for a non-profit or commercial institution and how it will be used.
HSP has implemented a ticketing system to manage customer inquiries and requests. This system will allow HSP to better serve its customers, creating efficiencies we hope will lead to quicker turn-around times.

Many of our patrons are interested in using HSP images in a publication, exhibition, or documentary film. However, HSP material is ideal for a variety of creative projects.
