    When the LOC uploads images with "no rights reserved", they need to be tagged as PUBLIC DOMAIN. This would help clarify the rights status.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    In contrast to a photographer or other rights holder, the Library of Congress has no authority to waive copyright protection or to transfer or license rights. There may be no evidence of a rights holder, but that is not the same thing as stating affirmatively that something is in the public domain. We needed to offer an observation, not an active assertion, which is why we don' t simply use the "public domain" designation. That is why the Additional information about the images from the Library of Congress says "No known copyright restrictions." Selecting the link takes you to the page on the Library of Congress site that goes into more detail about what we mean by "no known copyright restrictions": www.loc.gov/rr/print/195_copr.html#noknown
