If an image is displaying, you can download it yourself. Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types through Library of Congress Duplication Services.

The qualities of the digital image partially depend on whether it was made from the original or an intermediate such as a copy negative or transparency or intermediary roll film. Information under the image says what the image was made from. Cite the identifier under the image (e.g., http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/ppmsca.05598) to purchase a copy of the specific image through Duplication Services.

The panoramic photographs are generally black-and-white photographs, but the original prints exhibit varying tonality. This tonality is captured when the items are scanned from the original panorama. If the tonality of the original print is desired, download or purchase a copy from the digital image or from color copies, rather than from black-and-white film copy negatives (usually represented by reproduction numbers that begin LC-USZ...)

Price lists, contact information, and order forms are available on the Duplication Services Web site.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

   • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.

     As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)

   • No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

   • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.

   • No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.

3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
