No I don't know about any of the legal formalities, hence asking do we need
to contact them and ask whether they are willing...I mean, do they hold the
copyright esp to photos of buildings also that are over 60 years old (the
photos not the buildings).

That Facebook page has lots of beautiful images and not just of books.

Any way you can get them is good, but uploading them as DjVu files
would help transcribing them in Wikisource.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Rare Book Society of India

[Debanjan Bandyopadhyay]

Hi all,

I just saw this
page[1]
on facebook, it supposedly belongs to the Rare Book Society of India
and they have a lot of old images, older than 60 years. Hence, do you think
these can be uploaded to Wikipedia and maybe we can ask them whether they
themselves would like to do as such. If am not wrong, maybe the GLAM team
would know more about this?
