Pics

This page is a list of all the pics we've found that we should use. Pics that we've taken and that we have gotten the rights to can go over on stuff we have the rights to.

Found some more pics in History of Forrest County

That classic picture of the two guys standing next to the partially cut pine with a saw next to them is public domain (due to being so old)! Apparently someone named Estus Lott of Purvis originally owned the pic (and possibly has the original??? Obviously we can't burst into his house yelling PUBLIC DOMAIN! and steal the picture.) -- Brad

I went up to McCain and found the Pictorial History book (F349.H36 H37). It had TONS of pictures and history. I only looked through maybe half of it. I don't think you can check it out (it has a "DO NOT CIRCULATE" stamp on it). Here's some pics that I found from it:

I didn't really record the dates, but the earlier ones came from about 1900 and later, the later ones at about 1940. Also, the book didn't have any photo credits. It was published in something like 1982 by Ole Miss. I guess we could talk to them about all the copyrights. A lot of the really old pictures are probably public domain by now (IIRC a pre-1978 copyright lasts 95 years from creation), but I'd still like to scan the real prints instead of scanning a book.

Here's some more from the same book:
