Electronic reproduction is defined as display of images and words on a screen or monitor from machine readable media such as CD-ROM and other disk formats, DAT tape and video tape. Electronic reproduction can be used in the following applications:

Local Area Networks (LAN) or stand alone systems including Kiosks; Wide Area Networks (WAN) including the Internet, Television, Broadcast and Cable Portable Disks and Tapes.

  • All images must be made from photographic/digital materials supplied by DIA. Images of 640x480 pixels at 72 ppi cannot be enlarged beyond this resolution.
  • All images must display in close proximity the following documentation: Artist, Title, Medium, and dimensions, Object date and copyright notification.

    If such placement proves to be impractical, alternate placement such as in an index or a list of credit may be approved on an individual basis.

  • This license is granted for one time, non-exclusive use in one medium and one product. Licenses will be granted for terms of the following duration:

    LAN
    3 Years
    WAN
    1 Year
    Television, Broadcast and Cable
    5 Years
    Portable Disks & Tapes
    Lifespan of edition
  • Revised editions or subsequent versions of an application, where changes constitute more than 10% of the original, require renewal of the license with additional fees to be paid at the current rates.
  • Derivative products and applications also require an additional license.
  • Any color manipulation, alternation, cropping or addition to the image is prohibited and will automaticaly render the license void. Overprinting of text on an image requires our specific permission.
  • Reproduction of a detail also requires our prior approval and the word "detail" must appear in the caption or in close proximity to the image.
  • We require a proof of all applications of our images. For use in a LAN you can send us a screen print. For WAN you can send a screen print or notify us of the location of your WWW URL. For broadcast, notification of the time and date of your transmission must be given, whenever possible. CD-ROMs and tapes can be submitted to us by regular mail. We will notify you of any corrections to be made to the image or its accompanying documentation.
