How does the Digital Photographic Library work?
The library hosts optimised high resolution images on the internet. Users are required to register to gain access, citing where these images will be used. Image requests are vetted by the Librarian. Access is granted, giving users access to the library for a limited time period. Users may renew their access to the library. During this time period they may download images and use them according to Sun International's terms and conditions.
Why do users have to register?
This allows the Librarian to keep track of who has accessed Sun International's material and report on the usage of Sun International's images.
