Through LUNA Insight software, the Brown community has access to several collections of digital images, each of which comes with particular copyright and usage guidelines summarized below. Descriptions of the collections accessible via Insight are available here.

Contents of the collection are drawn from a variety of sources and therefore have different rights issues. Most items digitized locally from materials in Special Collections are in the public domain. Images licensed from vendors may have restrictions on use, but generally they may be used for educational purposes as long as access is restricted to the Brown University community. Images made available to faculty only for teaching under "Fair Use" may be made accessible only to the students in the class for a limited duration.

Each image in Brown's Insight collection has a copyright notice in the data window unless the image is in the public domain. A "Rights Type" field also exists there to describe restrictions in general terms.

Send email to ASL@brown.edu or telephone x3-3082 for assistance determining if a use is permissible under license terms. Staff at the Art Slide Library can also advise on how to find images and how to seek permission for using images.
