PROCEDURES FOR COPYING FOOTAGE

The Steven Spielberg Film and Video Archive (SSFVA) does not supply copies of archival materials directly to users. Instead, we facilitate duplication requests via several outside video studios, at the researcher's expense. Duplication and shipping fees are paid directly to the lab. Master tapes are shipped from our offsite storage location to the lab of your choice on Fridays ONLY. Please plan accordingly when placing orders.

In order to obtain copies, follow these six steps:

1. Contact the SSFVA with a list of the film segments you want to copy. Provide the following details:
   
   • USHMM story number (RG-60.xxxx)
   • USHMM tape number
   • Federal Express account number for shipment, or the lab will use theirs and bill you


2. Contact one of the labs below to obtain an estimate for duplication. Labs require the following information:
   
   • Beginning and ending time codes for each segment or story you want dubbed
   • USHMM tape number and format
   • Your desired format


3. For COPYRIGHTED footage: Secure written permission from the rights holder that allows duplication in your desired format (including time-coded screeners). Forward this permission to Archive staff. Rights holder contact information is provided upon request.



4. Notify us which lab you will use. We will release the master tapes for duplication. Tapes are shipped from offsite storage via Federal Express ONLY on Fridays. Please note that due to FedEx restrictions, we will have to use the lab's FedEx account for any requests from outside the United States. The lab will bill you for this service.



5. Any footage obtained from the SSFVA must be credited in the following manner: Steven Spielberg Film and Video Archive, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.



6. Send the SSFVA a copy of your completed project or film incorporating the footage from our collection.
