Section 4.51.19.8 - POLICY ON PHOTOGRAPHING MUSEUM COLLECTIONS
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 6, March 26, 2024
A. Casual photography, for personal use only, is permitted in exhibition areas of the museum of New Mexico unless otherwise posted. Use of tripods and flash attachments with cameras, however, is not permitted.
B. The museum maintains a service to provide, for a reasonable fee, photographic reproductions of items in its collections. Permission to photograph objects may be granted to individual researchers upon approval by the responsible curator or associate director. Requests to photograph the collections must be made in writing to the appropriate bureau, which will issue a permit if permission is granted. Items to be photographed will be handled and accompanied at all times by a curator. Under no circumstances may an object from the collections be removed from the museum complex to be photographed without curatorial supervision.
C. The museum of New Mexico retains all rights to publication of historic photographs and photographic images in its collections. Although these rights may be assigned, photographing collection items does not automatically imply permission to reproduce or publish such materials.
