Every record keeps its source. Reuse rights are not inferred merely because a file is public online: UAPLocations follows the source-level licence where one is explicit and keeps item-level caution where an archive contains mixed rights.

How UAPLocations handles rights
Source metadata, original URLs and provenance are retained. NARA material is treated conservatively because its holdings can contain mixed rights. Community material is governed by the contributor licence in the Reporting Terms. If an individual asset carries a more specific restriction than this summary, the asset-level restriction controls.
UAPLocations is independent and does not imply endorsement by any listed government, archive or agency.
