SOURCE
"The Metropolitan Museum's initiative—called Open Access for Scholarly Content (OASC)—provides access to images of art in its collection that the Museum believes to be in the public domain and free of other known restrictions; these images are now available for scholarly use in any media. Works that are covered by the new policy are identified on the Museum's website with the acronym OASC. (Certain works are not available through the initiative for one or more of the following reasons: the work is still under copyright, or the copyright status is unclear; privacy or publicity issues; the work is owned by a person or an institution other than the Metropolitan Museum; restrictions by the artist, donor, or lender; or lack of a digital image of suitable quality.)

These activities are critical to understanding the cultures represented in the Museum's collections, and fundamental to the Met's role as an international institution."

county Historic Environment Records (HERs)

In many cases, UADs are held as part of, and are accessible via, the local Historic Environment Record. Where there is a separately-held UAD, this is represented by its own entry in the list and a separate dot on the map."
