The Field Museum joined Flickr Commons in April 2009, inviting the public to help describe a selection of our historic photographs. All images from The Field Museum on The Commons are marked as "no known copyright restrictions" which means that The Field Museum is unaware of any current copyright restrictions for displaying this selection of photographs from our collection within the Flickr website, either because The Field Museum owns the copyright, or the term of copyright has expired, or because no evidence has been found that copyright restrictions apply.
