The IWM photos are now covered by the new '75 years' rule, so are in copyright now BUT the IWM will listen to overtures for publication sometimes without demanding a fee. Thus it is always sensible to ask them beforehand. That said the use in a forum such as this may amount to 'educational use' and is unlikely to cause offence anyway.

Its amazing that this thread was started 16 years ago!

I wonder now whether the IWM will have lost their copyright this year regarding WW2 photos and those taken before?

Larry, here on MLU we often drag old threads up from way back. Often the guys who started these threads are no longer with us, sadly.

Another sad thing is that many archives (still) claim copyrights, possibly to retain control and revenue from publishing these photos on their websites.

Of course, having all these online image banks are of tremendous help, but they come at a cost.
