Hi Mr. Brown,
Thank you for your request to the National Archives Office of Presidential
Libraries, which was forwarded to the George Bush Presidential Library and
Museum Audiovisual Department.
The photographs in the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum are
available to researchers without having to FOIA. We did a search in our
scanned photographs and found several items relating to President Bush and
cake. I have made a contact sheet of those and you can view them and see
if you want to order any. If you want to see actual contact sheets of all
the photos relating to George Bush and cake, we can scan those in. There
were about 35-40 contact sheets and the cost to scan is $.80 each.
If you want to order any images, each 5x7 300dpi jpg digital image is $15;
8x10 400dpi jpg digital image is $20. Digital images of any other size or
resolution are $25.00. All AV materials must be paid in advance in US
Dollars, and we prefer credit cards (please include name on card, mailing
address for the credit card statement, 3- or 4-digit code on back of card,
and expiration date). These photographs are in the public domain and may
be used giving credit to: George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. We
ask that the images not be manipulated in any way.
Let me know if you have any questions.
If anything is unclear, give me a call and we can discuss it.
Regards,
Mary
