Is there a list or a catalogue available?
Sorry, we don't have a printed catalogue. The browse images on these pages
will give you a good idea of the sort of images we hold. If there is anything
you need, contact us and we will tell you what's available. If you need
a larger scan for layout purposes, contact us.
How much does Galaxy charge?
Reproduction fees vary widely according to the proposed use. In
general,
the larger the reproduction size and the wider the audience, the higher
the fee. The following table gives book prices, and fees for other uses
are available on application. We do not charge a search fee in most
cases, though we reserve the right to do so (by prior agreement) where
there is uncertainty about what is needed. VAT is additional
within the UK.

Can Galaxy send pictures by e-mail or ISDN?
Pictures are sent by email or if requested on CD. We do not have
ISDN facilities. The normal means of delivery is to provide a lightbox
of layout-resolution images on a web page, then to email high-res to
order. Please note that any high-res images ordered on spec but not
subsequently used will be subject to a £25 supply fee.
Can I send pictures for use in the collection?
Sorry, no. The library is now closed to new photographers
