Out-of-copyright or copyright free images

Post by greyhoundcode »

I've been searching around for an online library of copyright free or out-of-copyright images. A few results however there always seems to be a stipulation such as linking back to the source website and whatever else, which implies to me that the images are not truly copyright free.

Any hoo ... my interest is in sourcing images of people from the 1950s backwards to Victorian times, pref with no copyright attached. Thus the likes of sxc.hu aren't quite what I'm looking for, though I'm well aware of it.

Anyone know of any particularly good sources for stuff like this? Thanks.

Starting to answer my own question almost as soon as I've asked it ... in case anyone else might be interested, some good links from this page:
