Personal use of photos
You can print, copy or download an image for private or study use without asking for permission. This includes the use of an image in a school assignment. Please acknowledge Gympie Regional Libraries on any image that you copy.

Reproduction of images
Many of the images in the database are out of copyright. They were taken before 1955 and the copyright has lapsed. When this happens, the images are in the public domain and copyright clearance is not needed.
If an image is still in copyright, then a notation indicating this is in the ‘rights’ field. In all cases where an image is still in copyright, you must seek permission to copy from the copyright owner. If you want to use the image, you will need to get permission from the copyright owner.
For current advice contact the Australian Copyright Council.
