Records and images found in the collection of the Carter are published from the Museum's collection database. Updates and additions stemming from research and imaging activities are ongoing and published online continually.

The Carter does not hold the copyright to many of the works in its collection, and respects the intellectual property rights held by artists, their estates, and other rights holders. Every effort has been made to accurately determine the rights status of works. For copyrighted works with a known rights holder, a copyright notice is displayed as part of the record for the artwork. Sometimes the rights holder for a work cannot be identified or located despite a good-faith search conducted by the Carter. Such "orphan works" are labeled as "Status undetermined" as part of the record for the artwork. For some artworks, copyright research is still incomplete; these works are labeled as "Status unknown, research required." Please email Rights and Reproductions if you have information on the rights status of a work that is contrary to or in addition to the information in our records.

Images may be unavailable for a work of art due to contractual reasons, copyright, and privacy/publicity restrictions, because a work has not yet been photographed, or because a work is too fragile to be photographed. For records with images, a combination of copyright status and available image quality determine the final image size on the collection website. Under fair use, the Carter publishes thumbnail-size images of copyrighted works for which it does not have a license to reproduce or to grant others the right to reproduce.
