Links to Perseus

We encourage you to make as many links as you want to anything within the Perseus Web site, provided that you properly attribute the source of the data and provide a pointer to it for the benefit of the reader, whenever appropriate.

Images

Perseus does not provide volume redistribution of any images; nor do we have the staff to provide immediate assistance with image reproduction. If you wish on acquiring an image found in Perseus, please do the following:
1) Check the credit line. All Perseus images contain a credit line. If the credit includes a museum, publisher, or other organization, you must contact that group for permission prior to contacting Perseus. Groups for which we have contact information are listed below. All of the information we have is listed here. (We either do not have current e-mail or telephone numbers for these groups, or they wish to be contacted only in writing.)
2) Provide the Perseus acquisition number or URL to the image page in which you are interested. Every Perseus image is referenced by a ten digit number of the format 9999.99.9999, where the first four digits are a year. This may be found at the top of the browser window or as part of the URL. Please include this when inquiring about an image or its status.
3) Allow time to process your request. You will be asked to provide proof of granted permission from the copyright holder, where applicable. Since most of the groups listed prefer mail requests, you should allow time for this process as well as five to ten business days for Perseus to process your request (after we have received it). Since we are not an image repository, the quality of images we offer is not print-quality, and we need time to produce a suitable image.
4) Contact the webmaster with questions. If you are unclear on the status of an image, or have other concerns, please contact the Perseus webmaster via e-mail. In order to assure that we see your request as soon as possible, please include "image permission request" in the subject line of your message. We strongly prefer e-mail contact to phone or fax.
