Archives and National Art Library copying service – Terms of use

For published and unpublished still in copyright material, copies are supplied to you by the Board of Trustees of the Victoria and Albert Museum ("the V&A") at 200dpi on the condition that they will only be used by you for private study or other non-commercial purposes permitted by the V&A.

For unpublished material it is a further condition that you hereby assign to the V&A any publication right that you acquire in consequence of your use of the digital copies.

Once your digital copies have been sent to you the V&A's services have been completed and you will not be entitled to cancel your order.

An image is a scan of a single or double page spread as appropriate in accordance with our preservation policy. We aim to supply the most economic option wherever possible.

We will confirm the number of scans and require payment before proceeding with your request. Due to limited resources we cannot normally undertake large-scale requests or frequent, multiple orders for individual customers.

If you wish to use any V&A supplied images for commercial purposes, please contact our Image Licensing Team: vaimages@vam.ac.uk or visit the V&A Images. Please refer to the V&A terms and conditions for details of your rights to use material on our website, and to the V&A Privacy Policy for details on how we use your personal data.
