Using the Collections

  • Access to the ECA Photography Collection is restricted to the staff and students of the University of Edinburgh.
  • Images from these databases may be used in lectures, seminars and presentations, and purely for the purpose of non-commercial research, private study, criticism or review.
  • Any presentation slides with these images should not be placed on a virtual learning environment (e.g. WebCT) or on webpages as this is considered to be dissemination and would infringe copyright. The images should be redacted before the presentation is shared.
  • Acknowledgement of the source of the image is good practice and this can be placed adjacent to the image or towards the end of the research, study, critical or review piece.

    Copyright information

  • The images in the ECA Photography Collection are in copyright under the laws of the United Kingdom, and through international treaties, other countries.
  • They may not be republished or reproduced in print, electronic form, or by any other means, (except in the case of screen prints for the purpose of strictly non-commercial private study and academic research) without the specific permission, in advance, of the copyright holder and the holding institution.
  • The copyright and intellectual property rights in some images are owned by third parties. The responsibility for identifying copyright holders and securing any necessary permission to use an item rests ultimately with the person or persons desiring to do so.
