Research Services

Our digital archive is available for you to search. As an alternative, Digital Motion’s research staff offers convenience, speed, and creativity for our publishing clients. This team of expert researchers explores the archives daily and knows where to find “hidden gems” and our most unusual shots. Our sophisticated cataloguing database helps our researchers handle large, complex searches quickly and efficiently. And both our sales and research teams are available to work directly with your editorial staff to meet your specifications.

Third-Party Rights Clearance

Let our rights clearance experts negotiate the best rates with third parties on your behalf, so you can focus on the editorial aspects of your project.
