: : I am currently working on a Master's project and the bare bones of it is this: : : I shall trace American women's role throughout the 20th century through fashion. I intend to create a website - merely for the Master's program and it will not be uploaded at any time on the Internet - that will make use of illustrations of women's clothing per decade. Some of these illustrations will come from an already published book. Will my using these illustrations cause any problems? What if I cite the source of the illustration directly underneath each picture and what if I do not intend on publishing my website? : : Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. : Dear Maricel Edwards, : Without taking professional responsibility, I think your are at risk if you are dealing with matter from a copyrighted source. : If you are not challenged, well that is likely and ok. If you are challenged, that could be expensive, for the legal fees alone. Any recovery against you might be small, unless you are making big bucks on what you have. : M.
