Question
An academic librarian relayed this question from a researcher/author:
"I am in the stage of tracking down photo permissions and have found images originally published by U.S. presses from the late 1800s and early 1900s (1887, 1893) that are now defunct--hence I cannot request photo permissions from them. The images are posted online by historical societies, but I'm not sure if they're in the public domain or not. I plan to reach out to the society publishing the images on their digital archives, and credit them for using the images, but is there any other factor to consider?"
