Historical Collection

Images that tell the story of humanity, preserved with responsibility and cultural value.

What is the historical collection?

These are photographs that capture unique moments in history, social, cultural, political, and artistic. They are not just images: they are visual documents that preserve collective memory and help us understand the past.

Why can’t they be royalty-free?

Historical photos are not generic reproductions. Each carries context, authorship, and often rights linked to people, institutions, or specific events. Making them royalty-free would dilute their documentary and cultural value.

Documentary value

These photos serve as official records of events and therefore require special licensing, with clear rules for use and preservation.

For clients

By licensing a historical image, you gain access to authentic and unique material, with guaranteed safe use and legal backing. Ideal for publishers, documentaries, research, and cultural institutions.

For photographers and archives

Preserving and making historical images available highlights their cultural importance. Licensing generates fair revenue and ensures the material is used responsibly and respectfully.

Main reasons to value the historical collection

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a historical photo like any other image?

No. Historical images require controlled licensing, with specific conditions of use to protect their documentary value.

Can they become royalty-free in the future?

Who usually uses this collection?

Editors, journalists, documentary producers, researchers, and cultural institutions that need authentic visual records.
