Many openly licensed works use a license from Creative Commons see the page on our website about Creative Commons and our blog post about Creative Commons to learn more.
Openly licensed works are available for use as long as users comply with the stated license terms.
However, sources of public domain materials such as museums, libraries, and other institutions may impose requirements or restrictions on use in exchange for access to the materials. Public domain works are generally free to use in any manner because copyright has expired or the work never had copyright protection to begin with. This is not a definitive guide to such materials, nor do we make any guarantees regarding the license terms or copyright status of materials available through these sources. This guide to finding public domain and openly licensed materials is intended to highlight places where these types of materials may be found.
