The open web resources listed on this guide provide access to image resources from a variety of libraries, archives, museums, galleries, and other sources. Before using images from any of these collections check and confirm terms of use and licensing conditions.
The collections listed here include public domain and creative commons collections that provide access to images that are free to display, remix, and use. When using these collections it is still important to check the original source of specific images, and confirm terms of use and licensing conditions as not all collections strictly check the copyright status of image submissions.
