One of these specified conditions that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” The National Park Service is not legally liable for copyright, privacy, or publicity infringement when materials are wrongfully used after being provided to researchers for “fair use.” San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park reserves the rights to refuse to accept a copy order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

The researcher must obtain permission to publish, exhibit, perform, reproduce, prepare derivative works from, sell or otherwise distribute the item from the holder of the original copyright. San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park possesses physical property rights through ownership of the materials. However, copyright may reside with the individual or corporate body responsible for the materials, or with the estate. Permission to reproduce or publish from these collections must be secured by the researcher from the copyright holders.

BOOKS & MANUSCRIPT MATERIAL:
Copies may be made for researchers, depending on the physical condition of the item(s) and any donor or copyright restrictions. Photocopies of photographs are not permitted.

PLANS AND DRAWINGS OF THE SHIPS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK
San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park is home to eight historic ships, six of which are National Historic Landmarks. Packages of plans and drawings are available for each ship. These packages are available to download at no cost.

Some of the drawings in the plans packages are taken from the Historic American Buildings Survey and Historic American Engineering Records (HABS/HAER) collections located at the Library of Congress. Additional photos and drawings of the ships listed below with an asterisk (*) can also be downloaded at HABS/HAER.

These plans packages are suitable for model building, but were not originally produced as model building plans. The park also possesses other drawings of these historic ships that are not included in the plan packages. These drawings are available for individual purchase.

Paper copies of plans are also available. Plans are produced on paper in black and white only. Prices for plans printed onto oversize paper are below:

OVERSIZE MATERIALS & NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING DRAWINGS
The availability of oversized materials such as ship plans, charts, or architectural drawings for digitization or duplication is based on the condition and size of the item. Please note that in most cases, oversize materials require special care, handling, and preservation prior to duplication. Parties should be aware that considerable preparation time may be required by park staff before an order is ready for duplication.

The park utilizes a wide format scanner and printer to reproduce oversize materials in-house, up to 36” wide. Items are scanned at 300 ppi and can be delivered as either TIFF, JPEG, or PDF files. Due to the large image size, all digital images will be placed onto an FTP site or CDROM(s).

There is an additional $1.00 charge per CD-ROM. Images can be scanned in color or black and white. Reproductions on to paper are produced in black and white only. Duplication masters produced to facilitate a copy remain the property of the park.

Reproductions larger than 36” wide require outsourcing to a third-party vendor and additional time to process. A handling fee of $25.00 will be added to the total cost for items produced by a third-party vendor. The cost for RUSH service is 2 times the scanning cost.

Please note: These copies are sold as historical documents. San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park makes no warranty as to the accuracy of the plans or drawings or their usefulness for a specific purpose.
