Let's say Dr Smith published the best work on carriage wheel making ever. He
travelled to the Carriage Wheel Hall of Fame and copied dozens of historic
photos of wheel making from their archives. He then used them in his book "All
You Ever Wanted to Know About Carriage Wheels but Never Thought to Ask.".
In a project of a colleague's a wheel maker was present, so he thought it
would be nice to have a couple of historic photos of the process. They scanned a
couple of Smith's images - but not all - giving him full credit and
citation. This is not a book for sale, it is not focused on wheel making, and would
encourage people interested in wheel making to seek out a copy of his book,
so it wouldn't take his market away.
Is it necessary to get permission from Smith to use the photos? Should
permission come from the CWHOF? Or is this fair use? Where is the line in such a
case?
opinions welcome...
