Evidence of permission must be presented in writing.

Publication includes the use of copies as book or journal illustrations, book or CD covers, and for use in film, television, video, CD-ROMs, websites, posters, exhibitions, public lectures etc.

Once permission has been granted, application to publish material must be placed using a copy of our Application for copies for publication form| (PDF). Charges may apply.

If you require copies for private research only and not for publication, please complete our Application for copies for research form| (PDF) instead.
