Policy
Image Use & Attribution
Roller Derby Legacy is a community heritage archive that exists to preserve and share the history of roller derby. You are welcome to view and share our public images — please keep the origin mark intact and credit the archive so others can find the source.
What you may do
Public images from the archive may be viewed, shared, and referenced for discussion, education, research, and community remembrance. We encourage sharing that helps more people discover this history and connect with the archive.
Keep the origin mark intact
Public images carry a small Roller Derby Legacy origin mark (the two-skates emblem with RollerDerbyLegacy and rollerderbylegacy.com) placed in an unobtrusive corner. Please do not crop out, cover, or remove this mark. It exists so a shared image always points back to its source.
How to credit the archive
When you share or publish an image, please credit Roller Derby Legacy and link to rollerderbylegacy.com. Every public image page and the image viewer provide a one-click Copy citation and Copy source link.
Citation format
Use the citation shown on each image, which follows this form:
Roller Derby Legacy Archive, “[Image title],” [Collection name], [permanent image URL], accessed [date].
Rights & restrictions
Public display does not automatically grant unrestricted or commercial reuse, and it does not mean Roller Derby Legacy owns every underlying historical photograph. Some items carry specific rights conditions.
Item-specific restrictions always take precedence over general sharing. Where an item is marked restricted, download may be disabled and the applicable condition is shown on the image. Please respect those conditions.
Commercial & publication inquiries
For commercial licensing, publication, exhibition, or broadcast use — or if you are a rights holder — please contact the archive curators before use so we can confirm the appropriate permissions for that specific item.
Report a concern, correction, or takedown
If you believe an image raises a rights or privacy concern, contains an error, or should be reviewed for takedown, please tell us. We preserve a full history of values, evidence, and decisions, and we act on legitimate concerns. See the community rules or contact the curators.
Summary
Share freely, keep the mark, credit the source, and respect item-specific rights. Thank you for helping preserve roller derby history.
This policy evolves with the archive. Material changes will be noted here.
