Publication, distribution, exhibition, or reproduction of images for commercial use (print, electronic, online, or other media) is strictly prohibited without prior written permission from the American Center of Research (ACOR). To place an image request and/or to obtain permission for publication, please complete the Image Request and Permission for Publication Form [see link above and at bottom] and submit it to the American Center of Research (archives@acorjordan.org). Please allow at least two (2) business days for response to the request. Please note that in Jordan the weekend falls on Friday and Saturday.
The cost for obtaining publication-quality high-resolution digital images (TIFF, minimum 300 dpi) is USD $10 per image file. New photography/scanning costs USD $20 per image, in addition to the cost of the image file(s). Additional rates apply to obtain permission for commercial and non-commercial publication. A letter of permission for publication will be sent by email along with an invoice that notes options for payment [see fee schedule below]. The letter of permission must be signed and returned to the ACOR Archive, and payment made before image files are delivered. Files are sent electronically. There is an additional USD $100 rush processing fee for any orders that must be completed in less than two (2) weeks. All proceeds are used to support the ACOR Archive.
Non Commercial Publications
Images are free to use for research, academic, and editorial purposes; watermarked images may be downloaded without filling in a request form by (1) Selecting your image of choice in the viewer window of the ACOR online photo archive; and then (2) Right clicking on the image and selecting the “Save Image As” option. [For Mac users, press Control+Click and select “Save Image As”.] For non-watermarked images, please state where the image will be reproduced (e.g., in an article or book) and provide an abstract of your research interest. We ask that one (1) complimentary print copy and/or digital PDF of the publication be provided for inclusion in the ACOR library. In addition, required image processing fees, as well as any fees for commercial or non-commercial use, will apply [see fee schedule below].
Commercial Publications
Additional fees apply for images to be used in commercial publications, as well as for specific use of an image on a book cover, eBook/electronic/internet, and other uses. Commercial use inside Jordan is free of charge. ACOR will provide a quote upon receipt of the request form. The permission for publication fee is in addition to image processing fees, when applicable. We also ask that one (1) complimentary print copy and/or a digital PDF of the publication be provided for inclusion in the ACOR Library.
