VIEW THIS PAGE IN FIREFOX. THE BUGS FOR IMAGE DISPLAY WITH THIS METHOD IN INTERNET EXPLORER ARE NOT WORKED OUT YET.
This page is to provide concrete examples of how various public domain images would be credited in Citizendium articles. Below is both the image and an explanation of its circumstances, which explains why its corresponding image is credited as it is.
Some of the explanations are ones we will encounter, but the image displayed is just a filler—obviously.
NOTES:
- Freely available at the collection website.
- Author unknown, or at least info is not available at image source
- Portrait is a unique donation, part of a large collection, by Bern Dibner to the The Smithsonian Institute, Dibner Library Portrait Collection, and held only there.
- Canadian public domain
- Freely available at the collection website
- Author is Lachlan T. Burwash
- Portrait is a unique donation, held only by Library and Archives Canada.

- Known places physically held:

- The private library of retired professor Bob Corbett, a Haitianist scholar. Corbett is known by Ewen and Corbett invites anyone with interest to visit his St. Louis library, the largest of Haitianist material in the U.S.
