MNHS Image and Duplication Support for Community Projects

The Minnesota Historical Society offers some financial assistance to reduce the cost of reproduction orders placed by and for the use of some community groups. For more information and to see if you qualify, please see the MNHS Image and Duplication Support for Community Projects info page before placing this order.

Please be aware that Community Digitization requests can take quite a while to process and are much slower than standard requests.

For Community Digitization funding requests, please use the discount code COMMDIG26 on the checkout page in the box that asks for a discount code or gift card. This will make your order free while the request is being reviewed.

Please note that community digitization requests without a pre-approval are submitted to a committee for their consideration. This can add several weeks to the request time.

If you do not see a captioned image or "Available for Purchase" graphic on this screen, you have not yet specified the image you would like to order. Please search for Photos through Collections Online.

 

Prices:

Note:  The price for each item includes a non-refundable processing fee of $5.  This is not an additional fee, but if the order is cancelled for any reason, the MN Historical Society will retain this amount.  Once delivered, all fees are non-refundable.     

Order Completion Schedule: 
  • It typically takes one to three weeks from the process date to deliver photograph reproductions.
  • New orders are usually processed Tuesday through Friday.  
  • To speed orders with multiple images: chunk your requests into 5-image orders.  
  • Rush service is NOT available at this time. If you need an image in less than 3 to 4 weeks, please consider using the lower resolution version that are online already in our Collections Online system.  Any image with a yellow "Add to Order" button can be used free of charge if the Conditions of Use are all followed.
