Hi Kenny,

Great photo of the dental service caravan. I thought it was worth copying to the 1930’s Caravans thread in the Down History Lane section. Hope that’s ok?

I was pleased to see that it was out of copyright so there were no difficulties in posting the photo.

Thanks Don, im always 100% fine for you to repost any photo anywhere. All good. Question: should i post links or the actual image? Regards kenny

Hi Kenny,

That’s an important question. If the photo is out of copyright then you can feel free to post the actual photo. That applied to both the dental van caravan and the aircraft caravan. However, if the photo is still in copyright we should abide by whatever the usage conditions are. (They can differ, and sometimes they will say it’s ok to use the photo because we’re not using it for commercial gain, which is different to personal research.) Where the photo is in copyright, posting the link is the best way to go.

Often the arrangements for gaining permission to use a photo still in copyright on the forum (because it is a community based website and not generating income) is not all that difficult. I’ve written to two different libraries about using photos and have been granted permission without any hassles - see here and here.

The other thing to note is that it’s important to abide by whatever attribution requirements are requested by the library concerned.
