OMCA’s
discussion boards give users a place to meet, interact, and share
ideas with each other. Just like a real community, you
may have different opinions than other users. The discussion
board experience is best when people abide by a few rules. For

to remember are:
- You may not harass, abuse, threaten, or advocate violence against
other members or individuals or groups.
- You may not post content that is harmful to minors.
- You may not post content that is obscene, otherwise objectionable,
or in violation of federal or state law.
- Stay on topic. If you constantly stray from the topic you may be
moderated or removed from a thread altogether.
- You may not use forums for commercial or advertising purposes.
- You may not post content which infringes the intellectual property,
privacy, or other rights of third parties.
- Some content may be more appropriate in some contexts than others.
OMCA reserves the right to remove content that it determines, in
its sole discretion, to be inappropriate or in violation of our
rules.
- If you are unsure whether your content is consistent with these
policies, please err on the side of caution and do not post your
discussion.

Rights & Reproductions
For Rights
and Reproduction inquiries please send an email to rightsrepro@museumca.org
The Oakland Museum of California is undergoing a major
renovation and reinstallation project. During this time our Natural
Science Gallery and selected temporary exhibitions will remain
open while the Art and History Permanent galleries will be closed.
In addition, many of our services will be limited.
Due to staffing limitations during our renovation, our
Rights and Reproductions services will be restricted between
now and the end of 2009. We will be unable to accommodate requests
that require new photography or research. We will review requests
for existing imagery on a case by case basis. The average turn
around time for Rights and Reproductions will be a minimum of
12 weeks.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thanks
you for your understanding during this very busy time. Privacy
We
are committed to protecting your privacy. We will not sell or
distribute
your personal information to any other organizations. We use the
information we collect about you only to complete your on-line
order,
to provide you with information you request or to offer further
information about Oakland Museum of California. For further information
please contact the web department:
