Give a photographic fund
Do you want to donate or bequeath all or part of a photographic collection to the State?
The donation of a photographic fund is not the subject of a special procedure. The donor (artist as heirs and descendants) can express his wish to donate all or part of his work to the State.
The team of the Department of Photography is at your disposal to assist you in this process.
Contact the Department of Photography: dphoto.dgca[at]culture.gouv.fr
A meeting with the donor will be organized in order to evaluate his request and the content of the possible donation and thus consider institutions that can accommodate, preserve, process and enhance the best donation: a museum, an archive center, or a library... Some donation proposals are accompanied by requests that require a study by experts.
Once the donor is put in touch with the welcoming structure, the latter is responsible for contracting this donation.
With the support of the Department of Photography, a vademecum for the use of photographers and their rights holders for the management and transmission of their photographs was written by independent researcher Léa Miranda.
It is available and downloadable free of charge on the ICONOS-PHOTO platform: https://iconos-photo.fr/introduction/
