Photography & credits
This is the live rights inventory, including its unfinished work. A photo is considered complete only when its creator or institution, source page, and license are all recorded. Records with incomplete image rights are withheld from the index until the metadata is corrected or the image is removed.
Our sources
The free media repository — public-domain and Creative Commons photographs of places worldwide.
Creative Commons photographs shared by people around the world — used here CC-licensed only.
Freely-licensed photography for ambient imagery of neighborhoods and parks.
The nation’s library — public-domain photographs from its prints & photographs collections.

Complete image records carry their photographer or institution, source page, and license beside the image. If you hold rights to an image and believe it is mis-credited, let us know and we will correct or remove it.
