The following guidelines apply to all organizations and individuals interested in filming, videotaping, or taking professional photographs at the museums operated by the Detroit Historical Society:
- A Society staff member must be present during all filming, videotaping and photography sessions. This staff member may terminate production in the event that the producer fails to comply with these guidelines.
- The museum parking lot or public entrances may be used to load and unload equipment.
- Food, beverage equipment, and tables must be set up in areas that will not interfere with the experience of Detroit Historical Museum or Dossin Great Lakes Museum visitors (when a shoot is taking place during open hours of operation).
- In advance of the work, both parties must agree to a written contract or agreement relating to filming, videotaping, or photography. The Detroit Historical Society reserves the right to decline requests to use its facilities.
- Please allow two weeks for us to review your request.
