Duplication Services
Your way to get copies and reproductions of collections in the Library of Congress
The Library of Congress makes copies and reproductions of our materials available to the public for a fee. Getting copies of items that have already been digitized is relatively easy. Obtaining copies of items that are fragile, rare or that were made using technology that is no longer in use can be more complex.

The approximately 172,000 photographs in the Library of Congress' collection from the

Each volume in the "Fields of Vision " series features an introduction to the
work of a single FSA photographer by a leading contemporary author or writer,
and presents 50 striking images that show how the particular vision of these photographers
helped shape the collective identity of America.
