It is the responsibility of the party using the materials from the collections to ascertain and clear copyright restrictions on materials provided from the Library's collection.

Permission is granted for one usage per project in one edition in one language. Material may not be reused without written permission of the Ashtabula County District Library.

The Library does not sell negatives and rarely loans original items.

Upon the date of the publication and/or exhibition/broadcast, the publisher/author/project manager or appropriate person/organization will provide the Library with one complete gratis copy of any publication, film, etc. in which the materials are reproduced.

An acknowledgment line should accompany the illustration and read “From the Collection of the Ashtabula County District Library, Ashtabula, Ohio.”
