I know that the National Museum of the American Indian has worked with
Digimarc to watermark digital images. It is a subscription service for
which you pay by the number of images. They also have a system
available to track your images online. Their site is
http://www.digimarc.com/index.asp?digimark=0. Hope this info helps.

Subject: Re: Online Collections
With the help of a high school intern, our small historical society
has
just begun to create a database of files on the items in our collection.
With each item that we enter, we are adding a scan or digital image of
the
item, with the consideration that sometime in the future we may be able
to
make this collection available online. In light of that, I am exploring
how
to protect the images, so that they are not used for purposes that would
be
antagonistic to our mission. I have uncovered at least eleven methods,
with
varying degrees of sophistication. I have also learned that there seems
to
be no completely foolproof way to prevent the "borrowing" of your image
--
and I don't think we are even going to be any more stringent than to ask
that credit be given to us.
I am also using the topic for the subject of a paper for a museum
studies
class in which I am currently enrolled. For guidance with both the
paper
and our museum, may I ask any list members whose museum or organization
has
an online collection to please tell me whether any measures whatsoever
have
been taken to prevent unauthorized use of those online images.
Many thanks
Lynne
