Image ownership

PictureVictoria lets you search a range of image collections, regardless of where they are located in Victoria. Public libraries and local history societies, as custodians of the works of countless Australian artists, have generously made their image collections available.

I've found an image I like - how do I know who owns it?
The name of the "owning" public library will be displayed to the right of the thumbnail image, eg. Maribyrnong Library Service. Any requests in relation to the use of an image need to be directed to the contributing public library service.

Note that the images you can find in PictureVictoria are reference quality only. Requests for higher resolution copies of the images should be directed to the owning public library service.
