 Reproduction of images & Copyright

Many of the images in the database are out of copyright as they were created before January 1955 and the copyright has now expired. This means that the images are considered part of the ‘public domain’ and copyright clearance is not needed for reproduction.  We still ask that you credit the source of the image by using the following wording: ‘Image courtesy of Heritage Noosa’ and include the Image No.

If an image is still in copyright, you will find information to this effect in the ‘Conditions of Use’ section, in the right-side image information panel.  Permission to reproduce the image for anything other than educational or non-commercial research purposes, must be sought from the copyright owner. Noosa Council/Noosa Libraries is not necessarily the copyright holder.  It is the responsibility of the user to source the copyright owner.  Noosa Council/Noosa Libraries is unable to assist with this process. If you are unsure of the copyright status, please contact us at heritage@noosa.qld.gov.au

Australian Copyright Law permits the use of certain material that is still in copyright, without the copyright owner’s permission, in what are known as ‘Fair Dealing Exceptions’. For further information, visit the webpage of the Australian Copyright Council: https://www.copyright.org.au/ and search for the factsheet ‘Fair Dealing: What Can I Use Without Permission’. Noosa Council/Noosa Libraries is unable to provide legal advice regarding copyright. Potential users must seek independent legal advice.

 Use of Heritage Noosa images on social media

Noosa Libraries is a regular contributor to social media using images from the Heritage Noosa collection. You are welcome to share any of our posts that feature images from the collection. You may also share images from the collection that are no longer in copyright (i.e., were taken prior to January 1955) in your own social media posts.  If you do share an image, we ask that you add the information ‘Image courtesy of Heritage Noosa’ and include the image number (e.g., T1000111).
