FAQs
How can I find the owning repository for an item?
For most items, the detailed information for each item includes the owning repository name. If you are uncertain, you
can contact the exhibit curator for more information.
How can I tell if something is in copyright? Am I allowed to use this item in my

All items have notes about rights and restrictions in their detailed information. The final determination of copyright status is up to the user. When in doubt, contact the exhibit curator. Please also read the UT Libraries Web Material Usage Statment.
I believe that an item infringes on copyright. What can I do?
Please contact the curator of the exhibit containing the item. Staff will investigate and remove the item from the discovery portal if infringement is confirmed.
How can I download an image? How can I get a high resolution version of an item?
For an item that has been published on the
University of Texas Libraries’ Collections portal,
you will be able to search for the item on that site and then download an image from the item’s landing page, at
different resolutions.
In other cases, please contact the exhibit curator to inquire about
image downloads and/or high resolution images.
Do you allow bulk download of items and/or metadata?
Presently this is handled case-by-case by UT Libraries staff using our internal Digital Asset Management System. If you would like to pursue bulk downloads, please contact the curator of the exhibit containing the items that interest you.
