Bly seeks state office of indigenous language

[Charles RIley]

Hi Don,

It might depend on the publication and the use, but my impression is that in
general, most of what Dover offers is intended for use as clip art, with no
restrictions as long as a purchase has been made of the book that includes the
collection of source material.  The individual source images tend to be in the
public domain.  For specifics, they can be reached at
<rights at doverpublications.com>.

A bigger consideration for an online application though is that the 
images would
have been printed using a halftone screen process, so you'd get a lot of dots
left in the picture.  Could be resolved by adjusting resolution and display,
but a digital source (from CD or online) might be better to start with.
