The Public Domain Review

The Public Domain Review is a website containing different digital material in the public domain and in Creative Commons. On the website, users can find images, books, and films from around the world that have since entered the public domain. Each image, book, and film briefly describes the material and, sometimes, the artist. The website, on their rights page (found here), details the labeling system of their public domain material. There are different labels for the public domain depending on where it is, life plus how many years, and if the government is involved. They also go into the attribution and Share-Alike rules according to Creative Commons.

Pexels

Pexels is an excellent website for free-to-use photos. On the website, anyone can find different kinds of photos for what they need. They include different categories like food, underwater, or backgrounds, so that anyone can find a photo of anything. Regarding the license, which can be found here and here, Pexels says that just about every photo is free to use and in the Public Domain. People can modify the photos, and attribution is not required. However, some of the photos fall under the Creative Commons license, and the use of those photos may still need permission from a third party.
