Finding Images:
 * Wikipedia Guide to Uploading Images - This is a good overview of what you to check before uploading and using any images. In general, in order to legally use an image, it needs to be in the public domain or Creative Commons licensed. Consider creating an image or taking a photo and uploading it with a CC-license. You are likely to see your photo used online by news agencies and mainstream publications.
 * Creative Commons Image Search - This will search CC-licensed image banks on the Wikimedia Commons, Google, Flickr, and more. Uncheck "use for commercial purposes, etc. to get more results.
 * In some cases (such as for book covers or author headshots), you might be able to make a fair use argument, and add images to the Wikimedia Commons. Take a look at this rationale - Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline; here is an example of an entry's use of copyrighted images with a detailed rationale.

Finding Metadata for Books:
 * Library of Congress Authority Records - can be useful for establishing date of birth, location, name variations.
 * WorldCat - for citation information, variants, editions.
