No Known Copyright Restrictions
The Library of Virginia is participating in The Commons on Flickr to further the Library’s educational mission and increase public access to its collection of photographs.
The Library’s images that are part of The Commons are marked “no known copyright restrictions,” indicating that the Library is unaware of any current copyright restrictions on the works so designated, either because the term of copyright may have expired without being renewed or because no evidence has been found that copyright restrictions apply. The user of the images must understand that the Library of Virginia cannot guarantee that private or commercial use of the images shared on The Commons will not violate the rights of unidentified copyright holders, and the Library cannot be responsible for any liability resulting from the use of these images.

Hypertext links to other Web sites are for the convenience of users of the Library of Virginia's Web site and do not constitute any endorsement by the Library of Virginia.
