I would of thought with any copyright in relation to pictures, that they would enter into public domain after so long. correct me if im wrong though...

In the United States its something like 70 years. Longer than some countries, but not by much. They'd rather have the estates of famous people squandered by their lawyers' heirs for decades.

i just get them off google, you know, or wikipedia or something, just prove it's right, and i don't think there's copyright in google images, people use them all the time

Google Images is a web search. You would have to look at the license of individual pictures, and even then they might be used on that site without permission. Of course, its usually unlikely that copyright will be enforced over images on a message board. But if someone gets wind of their material being used in a commercial endeavor, they're usually not happy (or they will be happy they get to use their copyright.)

Of course, I don't think many people would care that you used their picture of Abe Iso or Khorloogiin Choibalsan

Re: copyright, one of my search engines on the toolbar my firefox came with is 'Creative Commons' - might be worth a shot if you're being concientious about copyright.

I would also recommend using commons.wikimedia.org for searches before spending all day - you can get entire categories of people X you may wish to look at for your section of the project *example - People of the Republic of China * - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:People_of_the_Republic_of_China

I guess the work needed to be done is already assigned to the people. I tried several posts ago and checked my inbox several times looking for anything new. So if something does come up on how I can help...let me know.

Send me the ministers of Portugal and I'll see what I can do.

Are we allowed to propose new ministers?

The focus lies on minor/micro nations where we need the pics. Sorry
