The Society of the Cincinnati offers select images of its museum and library collections, and of the interior and exterior of Anderson House, free of charge for personal, educational, or research purposes. Such images can be found on portions of the Society’s website, online museum collections database, digital library, and social media outlets. When using these images, please include a credit line acknowledging The Society of the Cincinnati, Washington, D.C.

Requests to reproduce images for publication and commercial use, or requests for high-resolution images, should be made by completing the Image Reproduction Request and Agreement accessible through the link at the bottom of the page.

Once payment is received, the requested image(s) will be sent in the format designated on the agreement form. The Society of the Cincinnati reserves the right to deny permission to use images.
