Honors Topics in the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union: Images

Images 

Images created at the time of your topic are also primary sources!

 

  • It's so easy to find images on the internet, but that doesn't mean that you can freely use them without the permission of the creator OR owner of the image.
  • The resources below contain media you may freely use in your presentations.

  • PLEASE NOTE: primary sources including images are a reflection of the time and culture in which they were created and may contain language or other content that is considered offensive today.

 

If you're not sure about the usage rights of an image, please ask us for assistance!

Citing Images

NOTE: In a slide presentation, an image is cited on the slide upon which it appears rather than in the bibliography at the end of your project.

To cite an Image, choose the option that best describes where you found it: 

  • Database = a Taft Subscription Database such as Britannica ImageQuest.
  • Website =  a website like Digital Public Library of America or one found through Google Images.
  • Print or In-Hand = a print book or reference source containing a chart, graph, or table.

Next you will choose the type of image you are citing. For instance, a cartoon or comic strip, map or chart, photo or illustration, or work of visual art.

  • To download an image, right click on the image and choose "Save image as". (On a MacBook, hold down Ctrl and click = right click) 
  • To get the permanent URL of the image for your citation, right click on the image and choose "Copy image address".

To cite an video, choose the option that best describes where you found it and then select Video Clip (Online).
