The institutions
represented in the Greene & Greene Virtual Archives (GGVA)
(The Gamble House, USC; the Greene and Greene Archives,
USC; Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library, Columbia University
in the City of New York; and the Environmental Design Archives,
University of California, Berkeley) respect copyright and
other legal rights associated with material under consideration
for dissemination over the Internet. The GGVA makes items
from these collections available online after a full risk
assessment has determined the legal status of items and identified
rights of owners or other parties to the fullest extent possible.
Permission or authorization is sought from known rights owners
or other parties for rights such as copyright, publicity and
privacy. It is the patron’s obligation to determine
and satisfy copyright or other use restrictions when publishing, copying,
displaying or otherwise distributing materials found in the repositories
collections. Any publishing, copying, displaying or distributing for reference, personal, or educational use requires contacting the copyright holder and obtaining written authorization or may be in violation of federal copyright laws subject to the prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.
Copyright permission to use the Greene &
Greene materials for the virtual archives website has been
obtained from the Greene families. Photographs in the collections
that were not works-for-hire have not been used in the GGVA
and a best-faith effort has been made to contact the heirs
of photographers.
The GGVA is eager to hear from any copyright
owners who are not properly identified on this website so
that corrections can be made and appropriate information provided
in the future.
Unless otherwise noted, and with prior agreement
to the applicable terms and conditions, images from the GGVA
are available as electronic files and other formats, either
for private use or publication, upon payment of applicable
fees. Note that the terms may vary from one institutional
source to another. It is the responsibility of the user to
insure proper adherence to all applicable copyright laws internationally.

The GGVA represents only a portion of the available
documents housed at the four participating repositories. A
selection was made at each repository to include the most
requested and most representative images of Greene & Greene
work. Researchers should be aware, however, that the images
mounted on the web pages represent less than one third of
the rich collections awaiting their use at these institutions.
Individual repository inventories (finding aids or collection
guides) at the GGVA website provide the most complete listing
of what is available for research.
Crediting the proper repository as the source
of photographs or documents used as illustrative material
is mandatory. Images downloaded from this site must be credited
to both the site and the repository holding the original item.
