Description of Material

I agree to abide by the following conditions:

Adherence to Use

The attached listed copy(ies) of materials from the collections of the ASA will be considered for non-

exclusive, one-time use only in the publication, project, production, or personal use detailed on this

agreement. I understand that any alternate or additional uses, including but not limited to subsequent

editions, reprints, re-releases, dust jackets, covers, print or broadcast advertisement, companion

formats, and distribution in other markets, constitute a new use which must be documented and

approved by the ASA.

Fair Use

I confirm that I am aware of the portion of the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States

Code), which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material,

summarized as follows: Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are

authorized to furnish a photocopy, or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the

photocopy or other reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study,

scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for

purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution

reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would

involve violation of copyright law.

I assume responsibility for any copyright violation, issues of invasion of privacy, libel, and/or slander that

may result from my use of these materials.

Endorsement

I understand that the materials are not to be used to assert or imply that the ASA endorses any product

or enterprise, concurs with the opinions expressed in, or confirms the accuracy of any content of the

described publication, project, or production.

Identification/Credit Line

I agree to correctly identify the content of the materials provided by the ASA and to not use them in a

way that falsifies or misrepresents the information they present. Furthermore, I agree to credit the ASA

for the materials used in completed paper or project as follows:

[Title of Item], [Title of Collection], [Identifying Number, if provided], [Agency Name]

Manipulation

I understand that, while the ASA will allow close-ups of portions of the original and adjustments to

contrast, sharpness, and cropping where the original content is not changed, it will NOT allow inversion

of the original or change in resolution of digital files, or the removal or addition of content. The ASA’s

primary interest is to protect the content of the original. The ASA may enhance the original to allow for

better interpretation and understanding of the content. I understand that any manipulation beyond

that allowed by the ASA must be approved by the ASA in advance of use, as an addendum to this

agreement.

Passing Copies

I understand that the rights to the provided materials cannot be sub-leased or sold, nor may I permit

others to reproduce the materials or any facsimiles of them by any means for any purpose. Likewise, I

understand that these materials may not be donated or sold to another person or organization.

Destruction or Return of Electronic Media

I agree to DESTROY or RETURN to the ASA any copies of materials provided to me on electronic media

by the ASA upon the completion of the project, publication, production, or personal use detailed in the

agreement.

A copy of the product, production, or project shall be provided to the ASA as part of this agreement.
