Materials digitized on this site may be protected by copyright, licensing and other restrictions, although many of the original artifacts are in the public domain. These artifacts were digitized for display with permission of the owners of the artifact. The website organization is the work of Alex Campbell ©2014 (e-mail: alexjcampbell -A@T-att.net removing the "-AT-"). The rights to the digital representations are governed by the license below, unless otherwise stated. When using material under this license, credit this site, the owner of the artifact and the creator of the artifact. Some artifact owners have their own policies for use of representations of their artifacts. For commercial or large scale re-publishing as a collection, you should contact any rights owner, owner of the artifacts and myself.
This site also links to other web sites, you must contact that site owner for any use of their materials.
The original artifacts may have copyright and other rights owned by their creator or assignee. It is the responsibility of the user to determine if anyone still holds rights to the original work and get permission from them for any purpose beyond "fair use".
In most cases, United States works published before 1923, published before 1964 and not renewed, published before 1977 without copyright notice, or published between 1977 and March 1989 without copyright notice (and not corrected within 5 years), are in the public domain. Works created by an employee of the federal government are also usually in the public domain. More information about Copyright is available from the Library of Congress. An independently maintained, U.S. Catalog of copyright renewals can be used to investigate whether a copyright between 1923 and 1963 has been renewed.
Many of the items on this site were created by now defunct companies and determining whether anyone still owns rights and who to get permission from is difficult if not impossible. If I have included an item still copyrighted and you, as owner, feel it's inclusion is not "fair use", please contact me and I will remove it. Alternatively, I can add contact information and any restrictions you wish to place on its use.
