No Known Copyrights Restrictions

The Oregon State University is a proud member of The Commons on Flickr.

The images that are part of The Commons have no known copyright restrictions, indicating that the OSU Archives is unaware of any current copyright restrictions on the works displayed, either because the term of copyright may have expired and not been renewed or because we believe no copyright restrictions apply. The user of the images must understand that OSU Archives cannot guarantee that your private use of the images on The Commons will not violate the rights of unidentified copyright holders, and the OSU Archives cannot be responsible for any liability resulting from your use of these images.

In general, the photos in our collections are meant to be used for personal, educational or research purposes. The OSU Archives is committed to making our collections of images available to the public for personal research and enjoyment; however, it is the Archives' policy to charge reproduction fees to obtain a high resolution file for commercial use. These fees help fund our continued efforts to care for our collections. If you are interested in commercial use of our images, please visit our Permission and Copyright Policies page. For information about obtaining high quality reproductions of the original physical image please go to the Duplication Services page.

We are committed to protecting the rights of creators and copyright holders, and are always interested in finding out more about the images in our collections; if you have specific information relating to the copyrights of images posted by the OSU Archives, please contact us at archives@oregonstate.edu.
