National Geographic Society Image Collection & Image Sales 1145 17th Street, NW Washington, DC 20036-4688 Images@ngs.org National Geographic Society                                                                                         Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the use of National Geographic images. In many instances, copyright law does allow the reproduction of published material without publisher consent, and it may be that your request is covered by this provision. The “Fair Use” clause (Statute 107 of the Copyright Law) states, in part, that “...reproduction in copies...for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.”  In general, this allows copyrighted material (text and/or illustrations) to be reproduced for one-time, non-profit, educational use—most notably for one-time use by a teacher in a classroom, for inclusion in a student’s assignment, or for inclusion in an unpublished thesis.  Brief excerpts from copyrighted text may be used to bolster or refute arguments in scholarly articles, commentaries, or news stories.  Text and images may be duplicated for personal reference (including art projects that will not be sold or publicly displayed) or research purposes. As we understand the law, it does not allow for situations such as the following: repeated use of any text or illustrations, even in an educational setting; republication of text or illustrations in commercial publications, i.e. textbooks, anthologies, many magazines and newspapers, etc., or commercial products, i.e. postcards, calendars, CD-ROMs, etc.; and, any marketing, promotional, or fundraising use.  The Society does not allow electronic reproduction of its copyrighted material without specific written permission and, in most cases, compensation. The National Geographic Society has no objection to the reproduction of photographs for educational purposes as long as the following criteria apply:

1.        Images are used one-time only in a non-commercial educational setting. 2.   No fees are charged for any presentation utilizing the images. 3.   Images are not reused, further reproduced or distributed. 4.   Images are destroyed at the conclusion of the project.   5.   Images are not to be scanned for use on a web page or any online service.         If, however, you are still unsure about your intended use of copyrighted material, you may want to consult a copyright lawyer.

Thank you for your interest in the National Geographic Society.  While I regret that we cannot be of more personal assistance in this matter, we wish you the best with your project.  

Sincerely,
