Photographs are available for reproduction.  All photograph reproduction will be conducted by VCHS personnel using Society equipment.  Photographs may not be reproduced using the researcher’s scanner or camera or by any other method.  The general public is not permitted to borrow photographs from the collections of VCHS for reproduction purposes.
