Are they claiming copyright on the original photos or reprints in some manner such as a published book?

They have the pictures on file at the DUP buildings. The pictures vary agewise. They charge $15.00 a picture to get a copy. But most date back to late 1800's and early 1900's. They have no published book. They have histories that descendants have donated. They do fill out a paper to turn the histories in that I think gives them the copyright to the histories.
