Ordering Digital Image Reproductions

The Archives has now re-started processing photo orders. This service is limited to digital files of items that are currently available in electronic format. The Archives remains currently unable to provide prints or new scans.

You can order copies of photographs and other archival records by using our online system (for digitized material) or by using a paper form (for non-digitized material).

Ordering Online

Order copies of digitized photographs, maps, documents, etc. by accessing our database and ordering online. You must have an e-mail address to order online.

Ordering With a Paper Form

Order copies of non-digitized photographs, maps, documents, etc. by e-mailing us a completed image reproduction request form. There are instructions on how to use the image reproduction request form. You are responsible for making sure that your order includes accurate citations for the items you want to copy.

Fees & Technical Specifications

All copying fees must be paid in advance. After your order is placed, you will receive an invoice by e-mail allowing you to make a secure electronic payment using AMEX, Visa, or Mastercard. Learn about the technical specifications for digital images.

The Archives can provide reproductions of photographs and other archival materials, subject to the Copyright Act. See copyright guidelines for researchers. Permission is not required to use photographs in the public domain or those for which the City of Toronto holds copyright.
