My quibble was more with the implicit presumption in the way you formulated a CC-licence for others to 'do what you like to them'. Now that you have clarified it (and cited the legal advice, which I thought was refreshingly nonchalant)I realise that in the circumstances it is a good idea to encourage attribution to you/your site in further usage, as that way more info can be gathered about the pictures and their provenance, whilst keeping track of where and by whom they were last discovered, which may be a crucial link in the chain of potential identification. @ eyedropper,

But what would you do Nina as I'm unable to trace the copyright holder, or they could be dead, or as is more than likey, no one will care. I actually sort legal advice while at the BBC about this matter, the result was a non-plussed 'do it and see'. If the copyright holder comes forward and can prove 100% they took the photos, then I'll take them down. But until then they're just old slides found in a charity shop, Besides, at least this way they're giving joy and enjoyment to new people rather than in the bin - and it's not like I'm making any profit from them either.
