The name and contact information of the content provider can be found in the image information table directly below each image.
  • If the image is copyright protected, then you will have to contact the content provider to get usage permission. PHIL does not have the authority to grant usage for any copyrighted images in the library. If you have difficulty contacting a content provider, PHIL may be able to help, but PHIL cannot act on their behalf.
