Last August, I published a post titled Getty Museum Makes Nearly 5,000 Public Domain Images Available Online — Will Increase In Future.
Well, they did just that this week, adding 77,000 more images to the public domain. They can be used for any purpose by anyone, as long as they give proper attribution.
You can read more about it at Open Culture and at The Getty.
I’m adding this info to The Best Online Sources For Images.
Images are not in the public domain if they require proper attribution. Public domain images do not require any attribution. These images are made available through a Fair Use guideline and require attribution as per Getty’s terms of use.
That said, it is still a great collection and students and teachers should know about it.
It’s interesting that Getty itself uses the term “public domain.”
