Resources for Archival Footage? & Copyright Age Limits
I'm working on a documentary involving Western North Carolina and I'm in need of Archival Footage/images (pre-1940).
I have searched the Prelinger Archives and Creative Commons(not really archival) without much luck. Anyone know of any good places to look for Archival Footage? Also, isn't there a 50 year age limit on copyrights. Or Is this not always the case? |

Footage of what exactly? The right source would depend on the subject your are looking for.
One place to start: http://www.footage.net/index.aspx This site has links to many of the major providers. |

Here's a good resource for information on copyrights, including how long they last.

I did some copyright/publc domain research after I posted and found out that public domain is anything but simple. I just assumed that anything "old" would be public domain....doh! Thanks for the links everyone, I'll keep searching. |

re:
Silly question possibly but I haven't seen it directly answered just yet in the discussion above. If I go to the Library of Congress and get public domain photos and videos (in this case about The Great Depression), I can use them in my documentary even if it gets picked up by a studio down the line and released? It doesn't violate rights, or cost money, etc...?
