Syble, Not quite, I copy the images to the Source Detail multimedia so that I always have them available for my own use, but I do not publish them.
Tim, your link was interesting, but as it says it relates to US copyright law, this does not affect UK Crown Copyright which expressly forbids the publishing of census images without consent. The data can, of course, be extracted and published in a format of one's own.

Thanks, that confirms my concern, so if we really wanted a copy in the particular individual's file for ourselves, we'd have to make an Event just for the image and make it private.

Syble, Copyright restrictions vary from country to country, but for all countries within the UK the census images are crown copyright and publishing them without consent is a definite no, no.

I tried adding one census image a while back, I was wondering how it would look on the webpage, and also wondering if this would come under copyright, since it's a published copy of the original. Anyway, I was not pleased with how it looked on the webpage, so I've just not added anymore census images. I thought the resolution or size might have to be change, but after watching the webinar on adding a census just now, he seemed to add it just as he found it from the internet.
