Question

{{helpme}}

I have some questions regarding the use of pictures

  1. Is there an easy way to check whether a picture has copyright
  2. If no to question one, is there some kind of list with the length of copyright for most countries

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might add that the pictures I want are from 1910 and 1888 and property of the US government, so they should be copyright free (right?)

  • Sadly, there is no simple way to check copyright status. If an image does not clearly state that it is appropriately licenced for use in Misplaced Pages, then it is very difficult fo ascertain the permission.
