Historical and official photos. Proper author/date/country of creation information should be supplied to determine copyrights status.

Hello. I'm Emerson Marcus, State Historian for the Nevada National Guard. The following photos were obtained through several sources, many being the Nevada National Guard itself. The following sources have granted use with credit. This is the first Wikipedia page I've ever made, so I apologize if the citations weren't in the photo information. I thought I had put them there, but perhaps I did not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 16:05, 25 February 2016‎ (talk • contribs) Emersonmarcus (UTC)

Kept: mostly, but deleted those files that are obviously post 1923. Emersonmarcus, these are all subject to deletion unless you add useful descriptions and categories. I have done File:Joseph Poujade.jpg for you as an example of a minimum.

You must at least tell us who the person was, put the file in at least one category, change the source line to show the archive from which you got the image (none of them are "own work"), change the author line to "unknown", and add an appropriate permission line. The license cannot be CC-BY-SA because you are not the copyright holder. If the image was published before 1923, it can be {{PD-old}}. If not published until 1923 or later, it may be {{PD-US-no notice}} or {{PD-US-no renewal}} if either is applicable, but determining that will not be easy for a beginner.

Note that the owner of a paper copy of a photograph is not necessarily the owner of the copyright. In the case of the Nevada National Guard, if the photographer was a member of the National Guard whose duties were as a photographer while on active duty, then the Nevada National Guard owns the copyright and may license it by sending a free license to OTRS. If the photographer is any other person, then we will need a free license from him or his heirs.
