I dont see the harm with allowing historical/family photographs, for a point of nostalgia if nothing else.
Not sure how the copyright is determined for this, in the UK(possibly internationally ?) the copyright For literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works lasts for 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last remaining author of the work dies.
In which case you cannot Copy the work. Rent, lend or issue copies of the work to the public. Perform, broadcast or show the work in public. Adapt the work. This law was introduced in 1988 so photographs prior to that may not be included or be exempt?
