Photo research costs
 

Reading the thread on "Ballards Morris" I see that there are concerns about costs of photos from museum repositories.
Perhaps we could have a thread on institutions world-wide and their policies on providing photos for both personal use and for publishing.
I'll start.

All prices are based on photos that are out of copyright or are otherwise copyright free.

Library & Archives Canada.
Personal or commercial use - no charge (cost of reproduction only)

Canadian War Musuem
Personal use - no charge (cost of reproduction only)
Commercial use - based on whether image is B&W or colour, cover or inside, print run, and Canada or world-wide. For example a B&W image for inside pages, Canadian distribution, 1,000 copies of the publication is CDN$75.00

Bovington Tank Museum
Personal use - no charge (cost of reproduction only)
Commercial use - I don't have all of the details but I havve recently been charged 25 Pounds per image. This included the cost of the print.

AWM costs
 

The Australian War Memorial has an excellent database of photographs, film and other items. Here's the cost for photographs - there is a $29.70 fee to provide a large scan and here is the table of costs for use:

User fees for Photographs and Art works
Organisation User Fee (per image)
Schools, RSL Branches and Australian Defence Force* No charge
Type of Use User Fee (per image)
Commemorative Event No charge
Publication (except cover), Exhibition or Public Display, News or Current Affairs $33.00
Broadcast Television, Merchandise or Internet $95.15
Advertising, Publication or Book Cover $220.00

Moving footage is on a different scale ranging from $11 per second (plus transfer fees) for exhibition and public display (Australia only) to a whopping $550 PER SECOND :eek: for worldwide advertising or music clip!
All prices are in $A.
