Photograph and copyright policy
What contributors confirm when they add photographs, scans, artwork or written material.
Updated 23 September 2026
Contributor confirmation
By uploading material, you confirm that you own it, it is in the public domain, or you have permission to submit it for archival display.
People in photographs
Historical photographs can involve the privacy and personality rights of people pictured. Avoid submitting images that are intimate, humiliating, medically sensitive, exploitative or likely to place someone at risk. Images involving children receive enhanced review.
Licence
You grant a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, preserve, resize, reproduce and display the contribution for the relevant archive. This does not transfer ownership to Memory House.
Reports and takedowns
Rights holders and people pictured may request review through the Privacy Centre. Please identify the material, explain your connection to it and describe the right or concern involved. Access may be restricted while a report is investigated.
Institutional marks
School names, badges, colours and trademarks remain subject to the institution’s rights. Publication on Memory House does not imply permission for unrelated commercial use.
Privacy and information requests
Owners, contributors and people depicted in a memory can submit a request through the Privacy Centre. We verify identity before disclosing or changing information. The operating entity and registered Information Officer details will be published once verified.
