Special Collections holds prints of physical photographs of Florence Price, but we are not the rights holder for any of the photographs in the Florence Price Papers. Because we are not the rights holder, we cannot provide permission or licensing for these photographs. The rights holder was the photographer and/or photographer’s studio that created the photograph. Many creators are unidentified, and many of the studios whose work is included in the Price Papers are now defunct and the photographers almost certainly deceased.

If you are able to locate the rights holder or determine that the photograph is or is likely an orphan work and decide to proceed with publishing it, we appreciate it if you would fill out a notification of intent to publish form, which helps us track use of materials in our holdings. For guidance on citing manuscript materials, consult our citation guide.
