Hi. Do you own a print of the photograph? Or do you own the copyright to the original? What year was it taken? You would have to be the original photographer, or perhaps the inheritor of the original photographer to own the copyright. Under what license terms do you want to provide the photograph to Wikipedia? See Wikipedia:Copyright and Wikipedia:Image copyright tags to select a free license. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 13:02, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
