*Restrictions
CSL reserves the right to restrict the use or reproduction of rare, fragile, or intrinsically valuable materials, to limit the number of photographic prints/captures, and to limit the type of reproduction options available. For example, some items are limited to face-up copying only, and encapsulated items are not removed from their protective enclosures. Where an individual has donated papers, manuscripts, etc. with the understanding that they will not be reproduced, then the reproduction rights of the library or archives shall not be construed as justifying a violation of such an agreement.
Copyright
All copying, regardless of means, is subject to copyright law. The responsibility for ascertaining whether any copyright or other restrictions exist and for obtaining all necessary permissions remains at all times with the person making or requesting the copy(ies).
Permission to Publish
Possession of a reproduction, paper or digital of any material from the Connecticut State Library or the Museum of Connecticut History does not constitute permission to publish, exhibit, or broadcast it. You many reproduce (print or download) CSL materials from our Website for personal use or non-profit educational use, but not for publication without prior permission. To publish, exhibit, or broadcast reproduced items, a Permission to Publish must be authorized. See link below.
