When evaluating images from a home tour, investigating the original publisher can help clarify whether the media is in the public domain. For example, federal records held by the National Archives are generally in the public domain and available to all, though some specific photos may still have copyright restrictions.

Ultimately, it is the user's responsibility to obtain any necessary clearances before publishing or sharing such images. Confirming these details helps avoid potential copyright issues.
