Photographic copies of images found online can be ordered from the Library of Congress Photoduplication Service. These reproductions (prints or transparencies) are made from high quality negatives or transparencies.

• Take down the following information to place an order:

  • If the "REPRODUCTION NUMBER" field is filled in, note down the letters and numbers that appear there and the type of negative (glass or film) mentioned in parentheses.

  • If the "REPRODUCTION NUMBER" field only contains dashes, take down the letters and numbers that appear in the "CALL NUMBER" field. (The original will have to be photographed by the Photoduplication Service.)

  • If the displaying image consists of a strip of multiple images, and you wish to order one or more single images from the strip, please print out the image and circle the particular image(s) you wish to have printed.

  • Note down a brief caption for the item.

• Contact the Photoduplication Service to place an order (telephone: 202-707-5640). Orders are accepted by mail and by fax.

• The Photoduplicaton Service estimates that it takes 3-6 weeks to complete an order.
