Request a custom photo search
Looking for a specific archival image? We can help. MarComm offers personalized photo searches within our photo libraries and offline storage. Make sure that your request includes as much detail as possible. Providing the date of the shoot, event name, and/or relevant people’s names is particularly helpful.
In some cases, we may refer you to the University Archives, as we transition older photos to the University Libraries for long-term preservation.
To submit your request, email multimedia@wustl.edu.
