davidcyclebackCopyrights to images is too complicated and boring a subject to cover here.
If a board member wanted to make a picture book of 1800s tintypes, he could most likely do so with out any copyright concerns. For modern photos of celebrities by famous photographers or groups, one could gain the rights to use them from the copyrights holder. Many famous photographers, magazines, etc and are involved with big photo distributers. This means an author or publisher can go to one or two companies to gather photos of desired subjects/photographers, rather than contact all the photographers individually. Both the images and rights of use would be gained through these big companies.
