The New York Pub­lic Library has an online Dig­i­tal Gallery that pro­vides access to over 520,000 images dig­i­tized from pri­mary sources and printed rar­i­ties in their col­lec­tions, includ­ing illu­mi­nated man­u­scripts, his­tor­i­cal maps, vin­tage posters, rare prints and pho­tographs, illus­trated books, printed ephemera, and more.

These images may be freely down­loaded for per­sonal, research, and study pur­poses only. As the phys­i­cal rights holder of this mate­r­ial, most of which is in the pub­lic domain for copy­right pur­poses, the Library charges a usage fee to license an image for com­mer­cial use (defined above). The usage fee is not a copy­right fee. You are free to obtain a copy of these images from a source other than NYPL. Usage fees help ensure that the Library is able to con­tinue to acquire, pre­serve and pro­vide access to its collections.
