Maybe I am missing something (USA copyright law is not my area of expertise) but I see recent photographs of old things, which would make the photos the copyright of Dovie Horvitz (who is described as the person who took the photos). If the copyright has been assigned to the university, the university's website asserts copyright over things in electronic format (which seems to cover anything on a website!).
