Our Use Policy outlined below supersedes in entirety the Personal Photo License language on SmugMug’s site:

  • Prints or downloads may be purchased for private personal use only through our on-line archive. “Private personal use” is defined as a private individual’s use in a private research setting, and may be displayed or presented in private programs if they are NOT posted on the internet, social media, recorded, or otherwise re-transmitted or broadcast.
  • DO NOT purchase images from SmugMug for publication use. Scans for publication use are sold separately by special order directly from Lake States using our Permission Request Form. Authors and Editors, click HERE for details.
  • LSRHA makes no warranty of Copyright ownership. Determination of copyright is the responsibility of the user.
  • LSRHA does not re-distribute or otherwise transfer our collections to other organizations.
  • Any other copying, selling, sharing, displaying, public exhibition, or any distribution via email, uploading to internet sites, or social media is prohibited.
  • We do encourage sharing of links to our Photo Archive and its individual images.
  • All proceeds go directly to supporting the LSRHA’s archive/archival supplies/mission.
