Identify Reposted Archive Photos — Identify Reposted Archive Photos

When investigating photo histories, remember that images are often archived and recycled over time. For copyright purposes, group registration of published photographs requires that all photos in the group be published within the same calendar year.

Checking whether photos belong to a specific published group can help verify their chronological context. Spotting whether an image was published in a previous calendar year prevents the spread of outdated news.
