This thread is for sharing old footy photos that exist only as copies in newspapers. The quality is often poor but better than nothing. Here's one I saved ages ago, unfortunately I can't find the article it's taken from from. In future I'll make sure to add a description and link along with the images I find.

It is, and I've found it useful, but it's terrible to search, not great for viewing pages and you can't tag anything so this will be great for everything up to 1954. They said that end year was for copyright reasons so presumably they'll be able to add 1955 etc.. in the future, but unlikely that we'll get the lot unless somebody puts hand in pocket and pays for it like they did with the Canberra Times which goes up to the mid 90's.
 
Australian Copyright Law had a major overhaul in 2004/05 when the '50 year' rule for photos ended, thus making 31-Dec-1954 the cutoff date.

The new rule...for photos...is 70 years after the death of the photographer...

Basically copyright now extends 100+ years for most photos. So it will be many many years before trove expands past that 1954 date for most newspapers. There will obviously be some newspapers but the copyright holders will have to agree.

How far does "fair use" go in all of this?
 
ref http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Australia

Fair dealing and other exceptions
The main exceptions to copyright infringement in Australia come under the general heading fair dealing. Fair dealing is comparable to the United States' fair use, is a use of a work specifically recognised as not being a copyright violation. However, unlike fair use, in order to be a fair dealing under Australian law a use must fall within a range of specific purposes. These purposes vary by type of work, but the possibilities are:
  • review or criticism
  • research or study
  • news-reporting
  • judicial proceedings or professional legal advice
  • parody or satire (added by the Copyright Amendment Act 2006)
 
The quality is atrocious, but I think this is kinda beautiful from an artistic point of view

29 May 1930 - Chronicle (Adelaide, SA) - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article90054972
"SPECTACULAR MARK. - P. T. Morton (Sturt forward) taking a sensational mark in the last quarter of the match against West Torrens at Unley. Others are A. Kean (West Torrens goalkeeper) and C. L. Whitehead (Sturt). - Krischock photo."

Does anyone know for how long the term "goalkeeper" used?

1954 seems to be the last year i can find it ...... did not look long though !, so could be wrong, i might add, it seems to be SA thing, however i could be wrong on that as well.

Perhaps the stories are written by a specific sports writer and when he finished up, so did the term.

Williams described the two goalkeeping performances of West's Doug Thomas last Saturday and today as the best hehas seen for the season from a full back.
