Image and Archive Usage

Through our Contribute to the Archive form, members of the public may offer photographs, flyers, recordings, clothing, instruments, letters, publications, video footage, personal stories, or artist memorabilia for the Museum's consideration.

Submitting a description of materials through this form is an expression of interest only. It does not, by itself, transfer ownership, custody, or any intellectual property rights in the materials to the Foundation. Any transfer, loan, license, or donation of physical or digital materials will be documented separately in writing between the contributor and the Foundation before it takes effect.

The Foundation reviews contribution offers at its discretion and is not obligated to accept, exhibit, or digitize any submitted materials. If we wish to proceed with a contribution, a member of our team will contact you to confirm terms, including ownership, credit, and any conditions on use or display.

Materials accepted into the archive or featured in an exhibition will be credited to the contributor or rights holder in the manner agreed at the time of contribution, unless the contributor requests anonymity.

Photographs, exhibition materials, and archival content published by the Foundation may not be reproduced, redistributed, or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission. To request use of specific images or materials — for press, academic research, film, or exhibition purposes — please contact us with details of the intended use.

Some images currently displayed on this Site are temporary placeholder photographs used only to illustrate layout while the Foundation's own archival photography is being prepared. Placeholder images are not part of the Museum's archive, are not historically or culturally representative of reggae or Jamaican culture, and should not be reproduced or presented as Foundation archival material.

For questions about contributing to the archive or requesting to use Foundation materials, contact info@reggaeartsculture.org or use our Contact page.
