As covered in the Copyright page, it is best to use original images in your collage.However, another image resource is public domain imagery.

In general, works produced before 1923 and most work created by the UnitedStates government are in public domain. They are free to use in any manner youdesire. Other later copyrights may have not been renewed, but that can be difficult to research.

With any of these resources, read the legal agreements and use at your own risk!
