:: Introducing SUBSCRIBE TO OWN!
NEW: See also >> Simply Subscribe
SUBSCRIBE to the current full and growing Library of 53,000 images, via a flat annual subscription fee.
Subscription access will allow many more institutions the ability to access our growing Library, and for a fraction of the ownership fee.
After four years of subscription payments (sequential or not) we will grant ownership of the Base Collection of 16,000 images to your institution or consortium with a signed Site License. Once this four-year term is met, if you continue with your subscription, we will grant ownership of another module of 6000 images (in sequence only) after each two years of subscription payments (sequential or not). Upon completion of each term for ownership, we will send out the images on a hard drive, so you may archive them, and you will need to sign a Site License for ownership before the first shipment.
:: What does it mean?
Subscription means you rent access to downloadable images of a limited size and flash videos in our Library on our server or a sanctioned third party’s server and interface. Full access is given to our rich metadata. Subscription is renewable on an annual basis and you may cancel at the end of any period for which the subscription has been paid.
Subscription download access is to a maximum JPEG file of 1,500 pixels (full ownership allows access to a 3,100 pixel file, on your own server or via our various hosted access options).
Ownership has its benefits:
With ownership your users can count on the images they have come to depend on being there year after year. Furthermore you can:
1) Host content you own locally or access it via a third party hosting service such as Archivision's MDID, Luna, Scholars Resource or ARTstor’s Shared Shelf;
2) Download full resolution images and videos;
3) Save money over the long run!
You may choose to switch from subscription to a purchase model at any time!

Upon cancellation of subscription access, you agree to give up the right to use the images and destroy all downloaded media, with the exception of content we have granted ownership via a signed Site License, where applicable.
::: Annual Subscription Fee Schedule :::
Subscription rates paid are currently to access 53,000 images and these rates are guaranteed for four years at a time, even as our Library grows by 6,000* new images a year.

*We produce a new Addition Module of 6000 images each spring; after four years of consecutive subscription you will be accessing an additional 24,000 images to the number you started with (53,000 + 24,000 = 77,000 images if you started in 2011. Subscription rates are subject to change without notice for new subscribers. The rate paid when you start your subscription is guaranteed for four consecutive years only. You may pay in advance and receive a discount (if you pay for four years in advance we will give you ownership of the base collection with initial payment and take 10% off the subscription fee).
