Photographs & copyright

[BURTON John]

Folks

I have started incorporating photographs into the web site, for example:

http://coombs.anu.edu.au/SpecialProj/PNG/MIHALIC/M2/LetterM/Maria.htm
http://coombs.anu.edu.au/SpecialProj/PNG/MIHALIC/M2/LetterL/luluai.htm

I am looking for simple images of everyday things. It might be best if we
stuck to using images that are out-of-copyright or are published in books
whose authors can give clear authorisations about copyright. Some of you may
have useful shots of things in your personal collections, but I do not want
to use images from any sources where there is the slightest chance of a
later complaint that acknowledgment as a contributor was insufficient as a
form of accreditation.

Just to remind everyone, copyright to Mihalic's dictionary was held by
Mihalic himself, and he passed this on to our project in the form of an
email explicitly saying this. My reply to him was that we would act in a
collective manner to revise his work and no one person would 'own' it.

What do people think? Should we form an incorporated association to continue
this work? If so, do we need advice on how to do this?
