  • Academic users receive research services for free.
  • Academic users may not place requests on behalf of any other persons not entitled to this free service.
  • Standard academic requests result in 1 photo per decade. Once you have reviewed these photos, please let staff know if you would like more years, if available.
  • Once you submit a request, you should receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please try submitting your request again.
