I'm glad you like it Fran.Wow, you're work is awsome, it's as if they are people we meet every day!!!
I find that very hard to believe - but I don't think you should attempt to clean it in any way, but certainly don't leave it in a musty cellar, if you know what I mean.An appraiser told me that I should do nothing to preserve a cdv. Is this true?
Without giving legal advice, anything published in the U.S. before 1923 is in the public domain. I assume anything at the NA or LOC before that date is safe to use.Guys, this is exactly what I needed. I just signed to do a nonfiction book for teens called Women Heroes of the Civil War with Chicago Review Press, and holy cow, I need images. Zuzah, you are a godsend.
Question: Are most of the pics from the Nat'l Archives, the LOC, in public domain? They'll tell you on the info included with the pic whether it's under copyright, right? I have to pay for any permissions I secure -- and I want to stay cheap.

David, thanks for your more precise explanation! If a person digitally restores an old public domain B&W photo, but does not color it, this person now has a copyright until 70 years after his/her death?
Finally, there are a number of images (I am thinking specifically of the image of Lee and Traveller below) that the image is in Public Domain, but the only original copies are in private hands (in this case the Museum Of the Confederacy) and only small digital versions exist so that they can control sales of usage of the image. They want $200 per use for this image. Other museums and individuals do the same when the images that they control. This gives them a revenue stream and helps keep an image that would otherwise be in Public Domain out of circulation.
No objections.Zuzah, I'm too lazy to do all that. If you don't mind, I'll just set back and enjoy your great work.
