Saving images and recording citation information
If an image displays in a large format, you can download it yourself. (Some images display only as thumbnails outside the Library of Congress because of rights considerations, but you have access to larger size images on site.) The larger images may be downloaded, printed and projected in a classroom under the Educational Fair Use clause. For publication or commercial use, you need to consult the Rights and Access section on the information page for each individual source. This includes publishing on your personal or school website.
Most downloadable images give options of file types for saving such as gif (low resolution), jpeg (medium to high resolution), or tiff (high resolution). Medium resolution images are fine for screen displays but higher resolution images are best for printing.
You may bookmark your links as you go in a browser or copy and paste them into a spreadsheet such as the Google Doc template displayed below. Click on the image to open. Then select file to download as a Word.Doc or a PDF. This organizer has space for Title, Date, Exhibit or Collection, and URL. Recording either the exact title or the URL will enable you to get back to the original finding. It is best, however to include both just in case there is a typo in one or the other column. Recording the Collection or Division will assist you in looking for related sources.
