Digital images

All files are sized to a minimum of 8" x 10". Higher resolution files are available upon request but may incur a new scan fee.

• 72 dpi JPEG: $15
This small file size is ideal for viewing on a computer screen. This would also be sufficient for a PowerPoint presentation. Small prints can be made, but some quality may be compromised. Compare this file size to images seen on web sites.

• 300 dpi JPEG: $25
This high resolution file size is ideal for making a print. This selection serves most user's needs and is the most frequently requested file size.

• 300 dpi TIFF: $25
This uncompressed high resolution file size is ideal for publication. Also consider this option if a detail of an image needs to be examined.

Higher resolution files are available upon request. Additional fees may apply.

• New digitization: additional $10 (see below for details)
This fee will be charged if the item requested has not already been digitized or if extraordinary resolution is requested.

Photographic prints

All prints are made on 100 percent cotton rag acid-free paper with 100-year archival inks and matte finish. Images will be printed in color unless alternative treatments are specifically requested at the time of the order.

• 8" x 10" photographic prints: $35
• 11" x 14" photographic prints: $60
• 16" x 20" photographic prints: $100

Larger prints are available upon request. Please contact us for pricing.

New digitization

• new digital photograph or scan: $10
• special set-up for items that require special handling*: $75

Orders that require new digitization may take longer than the standard time.

YouSendIt.com (Free)

This is the preferred delivery method. Digital images are uploaded to YouSendIt.com and an email is sent when the order is ready for pick-up. Images can be easily downloaded from the web site multiple times until the image expires (usually 2 weeks).

Pick-up at VHS
(Free / $3)

Orders may be picked up during regular business hours at the Museum Shop. Please alert the attendant that you are picking up a photo order. Pick-up of print orders is free. A $3 fee will be charged for burning digital orders to a CD.

U.S. Mail
($15)

All print or digital orders that must be shipped are sent by First Class mail unless otherwise specified. A $15 shipping and handling fee will apply. Small prints and CDs are shipped in a rigid cardboard envelope. Large prints are rolled with acid free tissue and mailed in a shipping tube.

Federal Express
(Your account or $30)

Orders can be sent by Federal Express 2-day or overnight delivery. Please provide a Federal Express account number and a street address (no P.O. Box addresses) when placing an order. A $30 fee will be charged to patrons wishing to receive an order by FedEx, but who do not have a Fedex account.

Standard

When an order is received, an invoice is sent in four to six business days. Upon payment, orders are filled as quickly as possible and delivered in not more than four weeks. When new photography is necessary, orders may take longer.

10-Day Rush

Guaranteed delivery in fewer than 10 business days from the time payment is received is a 10-day rush order. The standard fees for images will be doubled.

Guaranteed delivery in fewer than 5 business days from the time payment is received is a 5-day rush order. The standard fees for images will be tripled. For example, a $25 tiff needed within 5 days would now cost $75. New digitization fees and use fees remain unchanged. The VHS reserves the right to decline rush orders as necessary.
