Image Library

The BU Photo Library contains curated categories of BU-related photos. Once you’ve selected photos and completed the order process, we’ll provide you with the digital files via email.

Please note: Only BU employees who are registered users can access the library. If you were a Cumulus user previously, you will automatically become a registered user of the new BU Photo Library as of May 27, 2025.

If you are a BU employee but not a registered user of the photo library, please fill out the form below to request access.

Please exercise discretion when using images of students, faculty, or staff when the individuals are identifiable. This pertains especially to photos of students in classes and in extracurricular activities, but it also applies to identifiable images of faculty and staff.

If you intend to use images of identifiable subjects for external-facing materials, please contact BU Photography at buphotos@bu.edu or call MarCom at 617-353-4557. We will assist in determining if the intended use is admissible, and if you need to seek permission from the subject for the specific use.
