The Images from the History of Medicine (IHM) database is a catalog of the prints and photographs collection of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The purpose of the database is to assist users in finding illustrative material for private study, scholarship, and research. The NLM does not own the copyright to the images in the database, nor do we charge access or permission fees for their use. We do request, however, that published images include the credit line "Courtesy of the National Library of Medicine."
Since the NLM does not own the copyright to the images, it is the responsibility of anyone using the database, or ordering reproductions based on information in it, to ensure that use of this material is in compliance with the U. S. Copyright law (Title 17, United States Code).

- Re: On [1] (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/copyright.html), it says that all information is in the public domain, except:
- Specific NLM Web sites containing protected information provide additional notification of conditions associated with its use
- If you search for Alexander Fleming on the site, it does indeed find such an image with a copyright notice, but many others without. THe deleted one did not contain any copyright information, so it should be PD by default. --Magnus Manske 12:46, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I am marking it as "Fair use with uncertain copyright" pending any more specific info of original source and copyright status. -- Infrogmation 17:57, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
