Family/Picture credits
Picture Credits
Two kinds of image appear on this site, and they are kept apart on purpose.
Photographs
Every photograph here comes from Wikimedia Commons under a licence that permits reuse with attribution. The photographer and the licence are named under each picture where it appears, and again below. Following a licence link will take you to its full text.

And the other kind
Drawn for this archive
The plate above is not a photograph of anything and not a copy of any sleeve: it is one of the drawings made for this site, kept on the same page as the photographs so the difference between them is visible rather than asserted.
No licence needed, and none granted
Blind Faith, 1969
Public domain
Island Records publicity photograph, used on the page about Ric Grech, who left Family mid-tour to join that band.

Drawings
Everything else - the sleeve plates on the discography wall, the instrument plates, the spotlight in the header, the record deck, the cassette, the paper the setlist sits on - was made for this site. None of it depicts a real person, none of it reproduces a real record sleeve, and none of it is presented as a document.
What is deliberately not here
There are no reproductions of Family’s album covers. The sleeve artwork belongs to the artists who made it and the labels that commissioned it, and this site has no licence for it, so the wall carries drawings instead. Where an album has a Wikipedia article, the entry in the discography links to it and the cover can be seen there.
There is also no group photograph of the band. No freely licensed one exists, and inventing one was never an option.
Corrections
If a credit here is wrong, or an image should not be used, write to [email protected] naming the file.
Questions about the pictures
Where do the photographs come from?
All of them from Wikimedia Commons, under licences that permit reuse with attribution. The photographer, the licence and the source filename are named under each portrait above and under the picture itself wherever it appears on the site.
Why is there no photograph of the band together?
No freely licensed group photograph of Family exists. Rather than use one this site has no right to, or assemble something that only looks like one, the pages carry drawn artwork where a group shot would sit.
Why are the album sleeves drawn rather than shown?
The sleeve art belongs to the artists who made it and the labels that commissioned it, and this site holds no licence for it. Each album links to its own encyclopaedia article, where the cover can be seen, and the discography wall carries a plate drawn for this archive in its place.
Can I reuse the drawings from this site?
They were made for this archive and are not offered for reuse. The photographs are a separate matter and are not this site’s to license: take them from Commons under the terms each file carries, linked above.
A credit here is wrong. What happens then?
Write to [email protected] and name the file. A wrong or missing credit is corrected, and an image that should not be used is taken down rather than argued about.
