== Fund for collecting images? ==

+

The State Library of New South Wales has an old public domain photograph (PD in Australia, PD in the US) that I'd like to obtain, and they've confirmed by email that they're happy to oblige—if I [http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/using/copies/imaging.html pay]. So I'm going to give up my efforts, but before I do, I wanted to ask if Wikimedia has run into this before and if there are either ways around this or if there is even a fund that allows for certain photographs to be purchased, perhaps if I can prove its worth in both encyclopedic value and whatnot. I thought I'd ask. Thanks. (Also, apparently I'd have to [http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/using/copies/publishing_items.html obtain permission] to upload the file here, but there'd be no fee.) – Kerαunoςcopia^◁[[:en:User:Keraunoscopia|gala]][[:User talk:Keraunoscopia|xies]] 01:24, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
