Services
The Cairo photo archive primarily serves the institute's own publishing projects. Requests for permission to reproduce DAIK images can be made. The employees of the photo archive may process specific image requests (see order form – photo archive) and electronically send digital formats in print quality. However, the Cairo Department does not carry out research tasks with regard to specific images or image topics.
