[edit]Mssage for Joyen
My name is Linda Groom and I am the Curator of Pictures at the National Library of Australia. Tina Jenner, a Library volunteer, has passed on your message to me. I fully support the efforts of Wikipedia editors to ensure that copyright has been cleared on any images loaded to Wikipedia.
I have the authority to authorise reproduction of images held in the Library's Pictures Collection, in three situations: (1) where those images are out of copyright or (2) the copyright is owned by the National Library or (3) the copyright owner has given the Library permission in writing to authorise re-use.
Tina Jenner has access to all our records which document cases in which creators have licenced the Library to permit re-use of works in the Library's Pictures Collection. In addition, she checks with me or my deputy Sylvia Carr, before submitting any image to Wikipedia, that there are no copyright constraints on that image.
In the case of the images of the Canberra Hospital implosion, I am happy to confirm that James Nomarhas took those images while employed as a salaried photographer by the National Library. Under Australian copyright law, copyright in images taken by salaried employees rests with the employer.
If you would like to verify any of this with me directly, please don't hesitate to contact me (lgroom@nla.gov.au or + 61 2 6262 1395)
