Copyright-Free Media Sources

The following are a few sites which list public domain, copyright-free, or Creative Commons media sources. You can also do a Google search with the advanced options that will allow you to find Creative Commons images. The presence of a resource on any of these lists does not guarantee that all or any of the media in it are copyright-free. You are still responsible for checking the copyright status of media, and citing the source, where appropriate.

NOTE: Many images from the Internet are NOT appropriate for print use, as they are low resolution. Make sure that any images you use from the Internet are high enough resolution (again, use advanced search in Google to specify a size) for the intended use AND are not copyright protected!
