“No known copyright restrictions”

All of our images which are part of The Commons on Flickr are marked “no known copyright restrictions”. This indicates that we are unaware of any copyright restrictions on the works so designated, either because we own the copyright and have chosen to waver it, or the copyright has expired, or because no evidence has been found that copyright restrictions apply. Even though the images we have uploaded to The Commons on Flickr are free of copyright restrictions, they may be subject to other third party rights such as rights of privacy and rights of publicity.

When you make use of an image from The Commons on Flickr we would like you to make reference to:

  • The photographer

  • The County Archives in Vestland

The photos in our collection are in general intended to be used for personal, educational or research purposes.
