Photo Archives

of The Museum of Danish Resistance 1940-1945

Maybe the pictures you need can be downloaded free of cost

As an experiment, The Museum of Danish Resistance allows free download of its digital images for both private and professional use (printing, homepages, film and television).

The Museum of Danish Resistance does however retain ownership of the digital files. We merely lend them out for specific uses. It is thus not permitted to download the files to put them on stock as part of the building up of ones own photo archives nor to pass them on to third parties.

In case of publication The Museum of Danish Resistance 1940-1945 must be mentioned as source.

We do ecpect a free copy of any books for which photos from our archives have been used to a significant degree to be sent to our library spontaneously.

Read our statement in relation to photos and copyrights.
