Where to find public domain clip arts?
I'm looking for free publicly usable clip arts to produce pictures to add to Hubs.
There are actually several hubs that people have written on this subject.
Here are two that I've found useful. Many of the sites they mention are the same but there may be a few differences.

I personally don't use clip art in my Hubs. I prefer photographs. You can find photographs at the following sites:
http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/
http://www.morguefile.com/
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
When you select a photograph to use, you have to be certain that you're choosing images that have the correct type of license for your circumstances. For example, some images are licensed for non-commercial use only. This means you can't use the photograph in your Hub if Amazon capsules or Google ads will appear on your page.
Wikimedia is very good. I also use Photobucket and morgueFile. Good luck!
I often use Flickr and Google for those pictures that I need to accent my Hub writings.
Don, be careful with Google, as if you use an image you don't specifically have rights to, it's technically a copyright violation. I tend to stay away from Google Images, as someone else already owns the photo.
I wrote a hub about this very topic:

I also wrote a hub here recently on this subject.

I use a variety of websites. I think it is good to have multiple sources to have more photos to choose between. Ones I use are:
Wikipedia Commons
Stock.xchnge
FreeDigitalPhotos.net

We've heard several concerns about Hubs getting copied and losing traffic and we know how frustrating this is for the author. Google tries to identify the original content creator and show that in the search results. If you have a copied Hub that is getting outranked in the search...

Hi Although it's been 6 years that I've been on HubPages I have never had any trouble nor was I active in the forums.However, on Sunday, I published a fresh Hub and earlier today I've received a very disagreeable email from HubPages stating that my content was duplicate and that, because of this,...

Prompted by a comment in another thread, I thought it would be useful to perhaps slightly change the way that we commonly think about changes to hub scores, hubber scores and the like. Rather than see them as a judgement on us or our quality of writing, we can use these scores and other tools to...

In other words:HP puts noindex on hub.Google sees it and de-indexes hub.Later, HP removes the noindex.How long before Google discovers that?In other words:When Google's records indicate a page as noindex, does google initiate a different schedule to return, since google now perceives that page as...

I'm a stickler for copyright (of course!) and have been reading up on use of "public domain" old works of fine art. In the UK, we have copyright in the photographs taken of fine art, and those photographs need to be additionally cleared (eg by paying a fee to an agency like...
