We’re keen to spread the word on historic theatres – and our photos of them – and encourage sharing, however given the original nature of our content there are some guidelines that apply to sharing our photos and research.
Things you can do
- Please share our content and mention us in your posts as it helps all sides gain further exposure on social media. Our social media handles for Facebook and Instagram are @HistoricTheatrePhotos. You can link to our website at historictheatrephotos.com
. If you share our content, you must include at least one of these social media handles.
- If you would like to use our content for more than just sharing, or non-credited use, you need to contact us
. All of our photos are copyrighted so it’s best to discuss your needs rather than make assumptions. We want to help you get what you need!
- Ask our permission before embedding any of our content (photos, videos, text), or at the least credit us in a visible way (for Facebook and Instagram @HistoricTheatrePhotos, or our website at historictheatrephotos.com
).
- Credit us as @historictheatrephotos or historictheatrephotos.com on websites and social media reposts.

- Do not remove watermarks on photos; do not copy, alter, or edit our photos. Doing any of these things is a copyright violation and will result in legal action.
- Do not copy and/or manipulate our photos, video, or text and pass it off as your own work. Such actions are traceable and will result in legal action.
- You may not monetize our content without an agreement. Such agreements are easy to arrange by contacting us at mike@historictheatrephotos.com
. Failure to do so will result in legal action.
- The original research and writings on this website are copyrighted, just like the photos and videos on this website. You may not copy our work and use it as your own.

If you re-use artifacts posted on this website under the doctrine of “Fair Use”, you are responsible for determining if you have permission to do so.
We take no pleasure in filing DMCA takedown notices or invoking legal proceedings, so please just talk to us about what you want to do with our content and we’ll work something out. Contact us here
