35mm slides....

The VRC circulates 35mm slides with a card check-out system. Borrowers should NOT re-file slides when returned.

No borrower may duplicate 35mm slides from the Collection without discussing the circumstances with the Director.
Duplication of Collection 35mm slides for any reason other than educational purposes is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN.

Many Collection 35mm slides are commercially purchased and may not be duplicated without permission from that vendor. In some cases, a book or periodical source can be provided from which a copy for a student paper may be made that is more suitable than duplicating a 35mm slide.

Some 35mm slides in the Collection are original slides from faculty members that may be reproduced and duplicated for educational purposes without obtaining special permission. These slides are irreplaceable in many cases, and should not be used in any way that could result in their loss or destruction. Do not assume you know which 35mm slides are which without consulting with the Director. Beyond the copyright infringement potential, duplication of a 35mm slide never produces a particularly good image. Please refer to the Collection's Copyright Policy for more information.

Faculty may request to have 35mm slides already in the Collection scanned by Collection staff to be used in digital form for educational purposes. Please see the Collection's image requests policy (under Collection Policies above) for more information.

Digital images....

The VRC's digital images are "circulated" over the internet with open source software developed at James Madison University; please contact the Director of the VRC about having a password to use the digital image database.

Equipment circulated by the VRC includes 35mm slide projectors (Kodak), slide carousels, portable projection screens, and portable light tables.
