Why are the images on the Revs Digital Library watermarked?

Answer

The Revs Digital Library watermarks our images in an effort to share our incredible high-resolution images with the world, while still protecting the intellectual content. We carefully chose the percentage of the watermark in an effort to balance these two needs and to ensure that our users still have an excellent high-quality viewing experience.

The Revs Institute's photos are scanned to 4-star FADGI standards (the highest possible), and the costs of scanning, staffing, and RDL operations are recovered only through the sale of unwatermarked images. We do not accept any advertising revenue. Without the sale of images we could not images available at all.

It is a violation of the terms and conditions of use for anyone to remove the watermark without authorization.
