We would be happy to allow you to use images from Corozal.com on Wikipedia, and at least 99% of them are our own images, so there's no problem.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure the images of Hurricane Janet would meet Wikipedia's standards for copyright permissions. I'll try to explain.

Back around 15 years ago, I was teaching computers at Corozal Community College and Corozal Junior College in Corozal. I gave my high school and junior college students a project to bring in a cultural presentation, using as many computer tools as possible, for a major part of their grade.

One student, by the name of {redacted}, brought in an excellent project including the scanned images you now see on Corozal.com. We put those images on Corozal.com because they were important to the history of the area, and on the basis that I had tried and failed to determine the original creator of the photos. Back in those days there just weren't many photos of Corozal.

About 5 years ago, someone named {redacted} contacted us and said that some of the photos we had on Corozal.com belonged to his family, but he was unable to identify exactly which ones. He did send the one of the 1953 softball team. I don't think the Janet photos were included in those. Anyway, he agreed that we could continue to use them as long as we gave him some credit, which we did.

Several times I have asked people if they knew how I might reach {redacted}, but so far I have been unable to track him down.

Although I am not very familiar with Wikipedia's policies regarding copyright, I'm not sure this would pass muster. If you can figure out a way to do it, I'm all in favor.

Also, I'll try once more to track him down, and if I get anything, I'll let you know.
