<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 3091657, member: 86305&quot;]I have one web site where I own all the images (10,000+) and even that has been a struggle at times.&nbsp; It is non-commercial if this gives you any ideas <a href="http://www.1881o.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.1881o.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.1881o.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am working on another one that is a struggle but also non-commercial.&nbsp; I will have my own images (2,000+-) bought and paid for, but there is a very small group of others (32).&nbsp; The other images are readily available through any internet search and the owner is lost to time or is anonymous by design. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I think I can do is post the few I need with a disclaimer as to origin and a willingness to remove any image not in the public domain if contacted by the owner.&nbsp; It is a bit like the issue of citing an auction catalog that is readily available like you would quote and reference a book.&nbsp; In all cases I am not taking credit for the data, only accumulating it for analysis.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also as to contacting the owner, I think this is best but I have found almost a useless exercise these days.&nbsp; I have tried with auction houses, authors, internet sites, and the like with no success.&nbsp; It seems to me these days that there is general acceptance that everything is available to everybody, just give me credit for the work if you use it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
