All persons wishing to publish material which is in the Library’s collection will need to seek the Library’s permission before publication.

Publication includes material to be published in books, magazines, journals and brochures. It also includes the web (even if the images are already available on the Library’s own website) and for broadcast on television, webcasting and any other medium.

For those wishing to use images, pictorial or otherwise, from the Library’s collections there are 2 steps to be taken.

First step

Contact the enquiries team for a form to have a digital copy made of the image. All NLW material must have been digitally copied by the National Library itself. The Library does not allow photocopies or home copying of material in its collection.

You will be sent an enquiries reprographic form to complete with details of the image you wish to have copied and the medium in which you wish it to be supplied.
