Access your loan via PhotoShelter

This guide will show you how to access your loan after it has been processed by the TV News Archive staff. Please see "Ordering" if you need help placing your loan request.

Loan requests are typically processed within 3-5 business days. When your loan is ready, you will receive an email from "do-not-reply@photoshelter.com" Please add this email to your contacts in order to prevent the loan from being sent to your spam/junk mail.  

Steps to access your items:

(1) The email you receive will look similar to the image below.
