Item metadata points to official federal-government creation, but item-level restrictions still need review before storing image files.
Official media
A rights-aware image lane for the archive
This explorer starts with official JFK Library media records and keeps rights status visible before any image files are copied into local storage. Public-domain candidates can move into a later cache job after item-level review; permission-required and unknown-rights material remains metadata-only.
Rights model
Every media item carries a reuse decision
The gallery separates source discovery from binary storage so a copyright-unknown photograph cannot quietly become a hosted asset.
1
Collection policy or known rights ownership requires written permission before image reuse or local storage.
0
Creator, provenance, or donor rights are unclear; keep metadata and source links only until researched.
0
The asset is indexed as a research pointer, with no local image storage planned in the first pass.
Source policy
Metadata first, storage second
The JFK Library remains the system of record. We capture enough metadata to curate and cite assets, then add local files only after review.
Keep metadata and official source links for all candidate media. Store or serve local image files only after item-level rights review clears the asset.

7 of 18 JFK Library records match the current view.
Protected or uncertain material is still useful as a source pointer. It should remain linked to the official JFK Library record until permission or public-domain status is documented.
