Visual Resources Association's Image Resources for Teaching, Research & Study in Higher Education Contexts
Digital Image Rights Computator
From the Visual Resources Association, "The Digital Image Rights Computator is intended to assist the user in assessing the intellectual property status of a specific image documenting a work of art, a designed object, or a portion of the built environment. Understanding the presence or absence of rights in the various aspects of a given image will allow the user to make informed decisions regarding the intended educational uses of that image."
