Where to find free public domain images is another episode in my series showing you how to find and navigate around my favorite sites for finding images that are public domain and copyright free and legally okay for you to use in your projects. Each video will take you to another of my favorite places to search for vintage images, old documents, and historical photographs.
Today's visit is to the Library of Congress and their wonderful Use and Reuse curated collection.
Here's the link to their website:

Hi Susan, thank you for the information about the Library of Congress. Sometimes I feel as if I live beneath a rock. This is one of those times. Thank you for the clear explanations about copyright images versus free ones. This is a dream come true. Without you, I’d have been in the dark forever. Thanks again! 👍💞👏👏👏😘

Hi Susan, thank you again for introducing the world of free images to us. I've been watching all your free images videos today and gain so much knowledge 😊

Susan, you have done such a wonderful thing by sharing your knowledge. I SO SO appreciate it!! (I'm from ARTYMaze's group.) Thanks again!!

I download the tiffs to a folder and once collected what I need, transfer the folder to an external hard drive. Once that is done I clear them from my PC. External hard drives are so cheap these days there is no need to clog up your PC.

I am trying to make Christmas ornaments and I am having trouble finding vintage Christmas book covers/images. I am so glad that you made these videos, every crafter/artist should view them. I don't normally make paper crafts, so I haven't heard of too many people using images, from online, until recently. Many people are downloading images from Google and Pinterest, for the holiday crafts and ornaments, and I don't want to do that. I guess it is okay, if they are just using them as personal use, but I am trying to start a business. This is fantastic information, but I am still having trouble finding those Christmas book covers that are public domain/free to use. 😵

I’m sorry it’s been a few years since I’ve been doing the digital work and I don’t use my phone for searching. Wish I could be of more help to you as with a lot of things it’s trial and error you could try looking for those search terms on RU-vid and maybe somebody else has done a video on it

Hi there Susan .... thank you so much for providing this information .... so just to clarify .... as long as I stay within the Public Domain "free to use and reuse" area .... there will be no copyright issues? ... on each individual photo that I've looked at ... I've scrolled down and clicked on "rights and access" and if this message appears ... "Rights Advisory: No known restrictions on publication" ... this indicates it's completely safe to use or do I still need to expand my searches on whether it is copyrighted or not?

I am doing a boho journal. What terms should I use in my search for people and artifacts?

@SusanTaylorBrown 6 месяцев назад

I’m not familiar with much that goes into a Boho journal, but I would just type anything that you’re looking for or look at some videos of other Boho journals and see what images pop up and type those things into the search. I’m sorry I can’t be more help.

Thank you for making this video. You are very generous with your knowledge. I notice when I go through the Library of Congress website that a lot of collections and images say they are only available at the Library of Congress. Am I misunderstanding that? It seems odd to make so many images available for digital download but only when you are in a specific physical location. Anyway, thanks again for the great work.

@billseigs 3 года назад

Thank you Susan! I have a question: I am making youtube videos about famous actors and actresses from the past. I am using pictures found in google, but I know it is not the proper way. I recently got into trouble with one of my videos. Fortunately, it got solved, but I want to prevent any further problems, but there's just impossible to find royalty-free pictures from these people. Even the more famous ones like Marilyn Monroe or Clark Gable are hard to find. Licensing from Getty is just too expensive since I need around 80 pictures for one video. I was thinking to contact libraries, but I'm not sure if they care about these kinds of things. What do you recommend?

@billseigs 3 года назад

@@SusanTaylorBrown Thank you so much for your reply! Unfortunately, this site is also very limited with pictures. I read that WikiMEDIA commons is a good source, but I'm not sure how much can I trust that?! What do you think? Or any other idea?
