Museum Collections Online

Hi Kim. I guess you rely on the honor system for downloading and using photos, etc. At one time we had a slide show of our museum house. I thought it was really cool. We changed the web site and it was deleted. It was a great way to get a taste of what you would see when you arrived.

You can add a watermark to your photos to at least prevent them from being used without credit. But yes, there is really no way to assure that your photos will not be used in ways you have not intended once you put them online! One solution is to only post very low resolution files that will not be adequate for print.
