Talk:National Security Archive

Public domain
If the NSA archives only work created by the U.S. Government, can I take it for granted that, say, photographs in the Archive are in the public domain and can thus be freely uploaded to Commons? Angr (t • c) 08:35, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that would be a reasonable assumption but you may wish to ask an admin about that. Also, NSArchive does not solely deal with works of the U.S. government but does hold on record works created by other governments. --Strothra 00:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I am an admin; adminship doesn't mean omniscience! :-) However, there's one picture in particular I'd like to upload: it was taken during the October 1961 standoff at Checkpoint Charlie, and it was taken in the American side. If it was definitely taken by a government employee (and not, say, by a private photographer who happened to be there), then it has to have been a United States government employee, not one of some other government. If the NSArchive has it, can I at least be sure it wasn't taken by a private citizen? Angr (t • c) 07:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * haha! I apologize for that mistaken identity. But yes, you can be 99% sure that it wasn't taken by a private citizen especially if it was taken when and where it was. I'm surprised that if it is in the Archive's posession that they do not give some kind of source. --Strothra 20:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
