Tips for Using Images
- Verify copyright status: Check the image’s source to verify its copyright status. While images from institutions like NARA are often in the public domain, some donated materials may have restrictions.
- Credit the source: Even when not legally required, it is best practice to credit the institution or photographer who originally documented the image.
- Be respectful: Given the sensitive nature of the subject matter, handle them with respect and care when using them in your web projects.
