Plant Cultures, from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is a freely
available website that offers about 800 images relating to South
Asian culture, history and plants.
http://www.plantcultures.org.uk/
According to the copyright statement "Text and images may be
used for any kind of non-commercial educational use within homes,
schools, colleges and universities. Suggestions for educational use
of the website are given on our Schools pages. Permited uses
include printing or downloading of website materials, repurposing
for teaching materials or classroom activities, and use on non-
commercial educational intranets. However, material should not be
posted onto publicly-viewable websites."
A similar approach is taken by the much larger Moving Here at the
National Archives (http://www.movinghere.org.uk/)
"The licence granted to you to reproduce content permits the
incorporation of material from the web site, with due
acknowledgement of the source institution and Moving Here, into
any non-commercial, personal research, instructional or
presentational compilation for private or educational use, whether in
hard copy or electronic or any other form. This includes use on an
educational intranet restricted to non-commercial users."
I think both these websites recognise that, for example, art
teachers often maintain internal image banks for their classes, and
teachers and pupils will often take material our of context and re-
use it in creative ways. In contrast, many of the image-rich
websites funded by NOF-Digitise (http://www.enrichuk.net/) would,
in theory, require a teacher to get permission every time they
downloaded an image for class use.
