Metadata Image Library Exploitation's Orphan Works Database
The EC-funded Metadata Image Library Exploitation project has established an Orphan Database for images.
An advanced search capability allows users to use a variety of criteria, such as creator of original work, location of original work, and photographer.
Here's a description from the database's home page:
MILE has set up an 'Orphan Database' which acts as a repository for all Orphan Works and invites you to offer information about these works. This database also serves to collate all search efforts for associated works of art so that Europe is provided with a centralised source for Orphan Works discussions, search history and potential repatriation.
