pub_infoPublication and other forms of distribution: May
be restricted by copyright. Black Star controls the copying of Black Star
images physically housed in its archives in New York City. It does not
control the copying of Black Star images housed in the Library of Congress
unless they are under copyright. Patrons are advised to conduct copyright
searches for Black Star images dating 1923 and after. (Published works
dated before 1923 are now in the public domain.) Copyright searching of
photographs can be problematic because of the lack of copyright information
and researchers often have to make calculated risk decisions concerning
the appropriate use of an image when its copyright status is unknown or
ambiguous. Patrons who wish to show that a reasonable effort was made
to determine copyright status should request a copyright search and retain
any reply for their records or, if they conduct the search themselves,
retain notes from their search. Privacy and publicity rights may also
apply. The address of Black Star is:
