Image Bank
The Columbia basin Image Bank is intended as a research tool. To that end we have included images which would not be seen in a traditional image sales collection.
Some of the images included here are water-damaged or faded. We have chosen to include them for research purposes, knowing they are not of reproduction quality. If any user sees that they have a better quality print of the same image we would be delighted to enter it and take down the damaged photograph.
We have not altered any image content. The Institute's archives consist of images that are scanned and saved as raw and unedited files. The images you see on the website are run through an automatic image correcting process for colour, contrast and brightness. As will be found elsewhere on this site, the user is reminded that the copyright for these images rests with the partner institution or individual, and the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History assumes no responsibility for providing copyright clearance for the images on this site.
