Photo Reproduction Fees

Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum reserves the right to charge a fee for the staff time required to process photo requests. To order a reproduction of photos or printed documents in the CGDC Collections, fill out a Reproduction Order Form and submit your request to collections@gorgediscovery.org.

Questions? Call 541-296-8600 ext. 242. If you leave a message, speak slowly and clearly. Give your name and phone number first, a short message, and end by repeating your name and slowly stating your phone number. (You would be surprised at how many people speed up as they recite their phone number, which can make it very difficult to understand).
