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.

Permission
Reuse supported by agency terms
Recorded statement: “Public-domain reuse is supported by the LOC FSA/OWI Black-and-White Negatives collection policy and the exact image provenance. The individual Bolin catalog rights field could not be retrieved.”
Rights evidence: https://onlineexhibits.library.yale.edu/s/early-black-yale-students/item/20922
Item evidence (checked 2026-11-08):
- Institutional identification of the current portrait: Yale labels the portrait LC-USF344-007933-ZB, LOT 953, via Wikimedia Commons.
- Identifier crosswalk and derivative history: Connects that Bolin portrait to LOC digital ID fsa.8e04218 and identifies FSA/OWI government work. The current Commons JPEG is a retouched crop; the supplied new file is the full original directly from LOC.
- Primary collection policy displayed on another item; NOT a Bolin item-level advisory: LOC Rights & Access states that the FSA/OWI Black-and-White Negatives collection is public domain and free to reuse.
- Exact primary digital file: Downloaded LOC original, 3694 by 5000 pixels; visually matches the Yale portrait and shows 7933-ZB in the border.
Qualification: Do not describe the inaccessible individual LOC item advisory as verified. The reuse conclusion rests on the identified original, cross-referenced institutional provenance, and primary collection policy. The date and unidentified OWI employee credit are documented as secondary catalog metadata.
