Requests to take images of the interior of the building or library/museum collections for the purposes of publication must be submitted in writing to the Director for prior written approval. The request should include the title of the publication, along with the expected date of publication.
Under no circumstances will objects be taken outside of the Athenaeum for photographing or printing, without prior written approval by the Athenaeum Director.
It is the responsibility of the author or photographer to determine if any copyright restrictions apply.
