How to use the library

Images featuring people

While most library images are public domain or CC0, images featuring real people require extra care, regardless of their copyright status. Copyright and personality rights are separate — a public domain photograph may still show a living person who has rights over commercial use of their likeness.

Every library image includes a depicts_real_person flag in its metadata:

FlagMeaningGuidance
No people ✅No person depictedSafe to use for any purpose.
Living person ⚠️Identifiable living individualUse with caution. Personality rights apply. Avoid commercial use without consent. Do not use as an AI generation reference to create new images of that person.
Historical figure 🏛️Deceased, named individualGenerally safe. Personality rights have usually lapsed. Check context for sensitive historical figures.
Unidentified person ⚠️Person shown but not namedUse carefully. Person may be living. Avoid commercial use in contexts that could be misleading or defamatory.
