A searchable archive, or digital asset management system (DAM), of university photography from 2012-present is available for students, staff and faculty to use for university-related purposes via the UW-Whitewater Photoshelter library.

Photography Usage
Technology has made it easy to manipulate photographs. While removing, adding or altering elements in a photo may seem harmless, changing the contextual meaning of a photo jeopardizes the readers' trust. A photo must be perceived as an accurate record. Therefore, the following are the University Marketing and Communications guidelines related to the use of photographs.
If you have a question about these guidelines, please contact University Marketing and Communications. The following information provides more specific guidelines about acceptable and unacceptable use of photographs.
Acceptable
Unacceptable

Photographs supplied to University Marketing and Communications from other UW-Whitewater offices or from non-university entities cannot be altered without written permission from the copyright holder, even if the image belongs to UW-Whitewater.
