Looking for help with Picture(s) and/or Captions

I´d love to write a n important seminar paper on the Romanovs, which my teacher thinks could perhaps be offered to somebody as a book. I´d like to use some pictures of course, and that´s what I need to know. What do I need to acquire a permission to print the pictures of the last Imperial family? The truth is that there are thousands "up for grabs" to anybody thanks to internet. Am I free to use them?

Marlene will know best -- you might want to PM her.

The vast majority of Romanov photos available online are NOT up for grabs. Most NAOTMAA fansites are not using photographs legally to begin with, so you don't want to download them and use them for anything you plan to publish.

Although the original copyrights for photos printed before 1923 have expired, that doesn't mean anybody can use any photo they want. If YOU own an original photograph or postcard printed before 1923, you are free to use it as you please. Otherwise you must ask permission. Images reprinted in books you own are not up for grabs, either. Authors and/or publishers must ask (and often pay for) permission to print archival photos in books, which means they can take legal action against anyone for scanning and publishing or uploading images they've purchased rights to.

Unfortunately there's no simple method. It's a matter of finding an archive or collector who owns the images you're interested in, and requesting permission.

An exception: the Yale Beinecke albums. As far as I've been able to determine, you may use those images free of cost as long as you acknowledge the source.

Thank you! I thought so, but wasn´t sure. I guess I´ll have to do some more researh and try to contact certain places...

One question

"Could be offered to somebody as a book" i couldn't get it good you want to write it and publish it as book?With pictures?

Well, yes. Of course it would be mostly written text (it´s a seminar paper after all). But I´d like to use some pictures - definitely on the cover.

Ah, so you'll be publishing a book?! Cool. When is it going to come out?

Let´s not get too carried away. It´s not even written yet. It is going to be a seminar paper that should help me pass an exam. And even if it comes out as a book in the future, it will be in Czech.

I am looking for large files of  the photos of the IF children resting  after gardening at the Alexandra Palace
 early in their captivity. They are well known photos of course, even famous. But I can't seem to find large files
of these images.

Thank you in advance!

Maybe you will get a faster answer if you post your request in "Looking for pictures" in "Having fun"? This topic is just to identify pictures and tranbslate captions ;-)

These ones?

[Yes!]

These ones?

Yes!  Thank you so much !!
