I've found a digital image of Jefferson's portrait from the White House Historical Association http://www.whitehousehistory.org/ but am unable to find copyright information regarding the image. Has anyone approached this site before? I believe the portrait of this, and other presidents, is important to include on the article. The Association has image files for all of them available.

I'm just hoping I don't have to be the one to make the phone call and ask for permission. Could someone else (who understands more about copyrights) review the website and tell me if the images are 'free game' or if we need to obtain something in writing granting us permission?

The image in questions is directly linked here: http://www.whitehousehistory.org/04/subs/images_subs/1801_b.jpg
