Materials in this collection are either mounted with permission of copyright holders or are not protected by copyright as far as the consortium partners are aware. Those mounted with permission of the copyright holder include items from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Papers at the University of Miami.

The project partners have provided in the catalog records for these materials all known information regarding the author, photographer, publisher or other persons associated with the materials. This information is provided as a service to aid users in determining the appropriate use of an item, but that determination ultimately rests with the user.
