The Archives maintains a digital archives collection online at
digarch.lib.mtu.edu. From this site, visitors can download
low-resolution images directly from our site, using the righthand button on
their mouse. We require users to retain the embedded credit line which runs
with each image.
The digital site also allows patrons to establish a profile and order
high-resolution duplications from their online storage bin. E-mail
Archives' staff at
copper@mtu.edu for further information.

Patrons will be required to sign and return our standard photographic agreement
form which stipulates your one-time use for these images and provides correct
credit lines for use in publication. While many patrons initially request
images for "personal research," patrons are required to request permission for
any subsequent publication in advance of such use. Subsequent use of images is
only allowed with the completion of a separate photographic agreement. Images
are not to be copied or shared under any circumstances. Patrons are legally
liable for any misuse of the digital images once they are provided.
