Credits & rights

Every image, accounted for

Each record keeps where an image comes from (provenance) separate from what the source says about reuse (permission). Categories summarize the source's own statement and supporting evidence; they are not legal determinations. Rights review is ongoing, and records are updated as new evidence arrives.

Agency and institutional images

Maintain accurate historical context, credit the creator/agency, preserve source records and avoid implying subject or agency endorsement.

NASA, National Park Service, U.S. Air Force and Library of Congress images are used for factual educational biography profiles. Their use does not imply endorsement by any agency or by the people shown. No promotional, merchandise or separate personality-rights clearance is asserted. These limits do not prevent the identified factual educational profile use.
