Photo Access through the University Data Asset Management System (DAM)
The Marketing & Strategic Communications Department takes, edits, and organizes all photos taken by our department in the Canto DAM system which currently houses over 80,000 images. Due to the rights on photos and how they can be used, we do not allow unlimited access to all across the institution to access this system.
We’ve therefore created a ‘Best Of’ USM Brand Gallery of photos, logos, and graphics for use of university staff and faculty. Whether you’re working on a presentation, website, flyer, or other project, the USM Brand Gallery brings together a curated selection of the best images from across USM — all in one place.
We’ve made it easy to not only find high-quality, on-brand photography, but also to download images in the correct size and file type for your specific needs. When you select Download, you’ll see a set of preset options designed for common uses such as web, social media, PowerPoint, and print.
If needed, you can also download the original image file.
Do you have your own images you want to use on our WordPress website?
Visit our helpful tutorial on all you need to know to cut these down to a web-ready size. Be sure you own the rights to your photos — do not use anyone else’s images found on the internet, etc.
Share USM videos
The USM YouTube channel is rich with video content sharing stories from our students, faculty, and alumni. We welcome you sharing our videos on your websites, social media channels, as links in your emails, etc. If you see videos you wish to share
