Permissions for photos from TsGAKFFD?

[Colleen McQuillen]

Dear SEELANGers,

Has anyone successfully obtained permissions for using photographs
from Центральный государственный архив кинофонофотодокументов
(Tsentral'nyi gosudarstvennyi arkhiv kinofotofonodokumentov, St.
Petersburg) in ebooks or other electronic media? I asked for explicit
language to be added to the contract about permission to use the
images in all forms and all media, and was told that the contract
cannot be modified (despite the fact that the contract itself contains
a clause about making modifications). The contract grants permission
for печатные публикации (pechatnye publikatsii). Can "print
publications" be understood to include electronic publications in this
digital era?

I'll be grateful for any suggestions or insights. Feel free to respond
to me off-list at <cmcquill at gmail.com>.

Best,
Colleen McQuillen
