l am interested in where people obtain images (both contemporary and historical) for use in publications in Syria. If anyone knows anything about copyright laws regarding pictures in Syria l would be interested in that too. Thank you!

 

Does anyone know of any commercial picture libraries or photography agencies in Syria

Hi Sophie, I really wanna know where r u living now so I can help u with ur question.
If u r living in North America or Europe, u can obtain the pictures & information from the embassy (which some times is not convenient) so I would suggest to contact the students union in the nearest university & hopefully they will have SSA (Syrian Student Association).
I live in Canada Montreal & we have a pretty strong Association here, we can provide u with pictures & we can talk to u about whatever u wanna know about Syria. Off course for free. we get our pictures from the cultural centers from Syria & the Syrian embassies around & whoever have something interesting (rare pictures & stuff) we share them & exhibit them.
For the copyright . it does not really exist in Syria. So go ahead & copy whatever u want if u r there..
I will suggest this website for u .. I found it the best which talks about Syria: http://creativesyria.com/
