Photocopy and Duplication Policy

Park Map

Hershey Community Archives will reproduce most items in the collections unless they are too fragile or are subject to legal, contractual or copyright restrictions. The Archives reserves the right to refuse to copy any materials that are deemed to be too fragile. In addition, the extent of the duplication request may be restricted by staff time and availability.

No personal photo-duplication devices are permitted.

Copies of unpublished archival materials are for personal research use only. Photocopies will be printed on Archives copy paper. Duplicates may not be reproduced or deposited in another repository without written permission from the Community Archives.

Supplying a duplicate is not an authorization to publish. Permission must be obtained from the Archives to publish or display any items copied from the Archives’ collections. Contact the Archives staff for a permission to publish form and information on applicable publication fees.

Audiovisual Materials

Publication

Researchers intending to publish must obtain written permission from the literary copyright holders and from the Hershey Community Archives. It is the direct responsibility of the user to determine if the photocopied item is protected by copyright. The permission granted by Hershey Community Archives does not constitute seeking permission from the owner of the literary copyrights.

Many of the materials in the Hershey Community Archives display or include trademarks which are owned by The Hershey Company or Hershey Entertainment and Resorts or their respective trademark management subsidiaries. Permission to use their trademarks (or the trademarks of any other entities) must be obtained by the individual or entity desiring to use such materials from the trademark owner. Permission from the Hershey Community Archives to use material does not constitute permission to use trademarks which are not owned by it or constitute a waiver on behalf of any other entity.

Publication or reproduction rights are nonexclusive and are granted for one-time-only use. Any further revisions, editions, or reprinting require the completion of a new permission to publish form. Permission is valid only for the individual, company or institution to whom it is specifically issued and may not be transferred, assigned, sold or otherwise disposed of without written permission of the Hershey Community Archives.
