Thanks Rick.
I think someone is already taking care of this, although it would be wonderful if you could get this photocopied and mailed to me. I'll send you my address by email later on, before I fall asleep

Bless ya

Volume 24 XXIV Number 11

This issue has an article which covers most of the main tribes with pictures of each .

The article is :
THE NON CHRISTIAN PEOPLES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

This is available as a CD ROM set called THE COMPLETE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ; pictures can be downloaded and printed from a registered copy of this set.

Hope this helps .

No problem Rick

No worries. Can I purchase the magazine online?

Going to hit the sack. It is 7:00 AM and the Grand Prix is on and I hate the noise.

Best,
Antonio

EDIT

Forget the above Antonio .

I just bought you a hard copy of the original magazine on ebay .
When it arrives I will send it via express air mail to you ; or you can put it on the FEDEX account .
You will most likely need to take the magazine apart to get good scans ; feel free , it's a gift from me to the Museum .

The books from which I can cull images from are all 100 plus years old, and in many cases the publishers are long since defunct (in certain cases the books were self published). I have been told in the past, with books this old copyright would not be as big of a problem, any insight into this?

That is a very complicated question, actually. The term of a copyright is surprisingly long. Right now as I recall it is for the life of the author plus 75 years. However, this standard has varied over time and in different countries (many European countries permitted long terms), and the standards are just now becoming harmonized. In any event, it is quite possible for a 100+ year old work to still have an enforceable copyright. It would reside in the estate of the author, unless he assigned it to someone, like his/her publisher. When the publisher is defunct -- who knows? Legally it would be the publisher's "successor in interest," meaning whomever bought the assets of the company, or the heirs/estate of the owner(s) of the company ... and so on. Tracing the holder of a copyright can be a royal pain.

I will look into the best way to locate obscure copyright holders and get back to you. Though one might assume that, as a practical matter, the older and more obscure the work, the less likely anyone is going to climb out of the woodwork and complain about unauthorized use, in the literal legal sense everything under a certain age has a copyright owner somewhere.

I'll get back with more specifics. In the meantime, please send me the bibliographic information of any books you might pull something from, including country of original publication, and I can see what the copyright term would have been.
