Copyright

Below is a small sampling of resources on the web for finding photographs and images that are free, in the public domain, or licensed to show the accepted terms of use.

Note that these resources are not all the same. Read the description of each resource carefully, and pay attention to the terms of use and/or licenses as described in the database and on each individual photograph or image you want to use.

There are countless places to find usable images beyond those listed here. As you take your search beyond these resources, continue to look for licenses or explicit terms of use on the images you find. Remember: copyright automatically goes to the creator of the work under U.S. copyright law, so if the terms under which you can use an image aren't stated, you should assume you cannot use the image unless you obtain permission or can clearly demonstrate fair use.
