I am turning over my Appalachian documentary images I've shot over fifty years to a museum. The collection of work is significant and contains work that can never be photographed again. The museum has established a special collection and archive within boundaries of use that I have dictated. The stipulation is this work be preserved for public use and viewing but can never be used for commercial applications. It is there for public education and not commercial use. I also retain copyright of all images. The collection consists of roughly 100,000 negatives that will kept in archival storage after scanning the most significant images.
If these are important images and they want them then you can dictate the terms.
