The Open Access Movement has made available a large amount of copyright-free resources for everyone to use. Whether you're an instructor, student, artist or start up entrepreneur, many generous people out there are willing to share their works for your teaching, learning, or even commercial use. Here, we provide you with a list of curated resources, including images, audio/video, icons, and more!
A WORD OF CAUTION | Although these websites do offer free resources, a few are run by business owners who charge royalties for their collections. Also, some aggregated searches do not verify open licenses. As always, do your checking to ensure compliance with suppliers' terms and conditions. Happy sharing!
CC search is a tool that allows openly licensed and public domain works to be discovered and used by everyone.
