[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for American Meteorite Museum
Description	This image is a faithful digitalization of American Meteorite Museum, a historically significant photograph.
Source	The image has been derived from: http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/Postcards/AMM/AMMSedona.jpg.
Article	American Meteorite Museum
Portion used	Because the image is historically significant, the entire image is needed to identify the subject, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for uses that would compete with any commercial purpose of the photograph.
Purpose of use	Identification and critical commentary in the American Meteorite Museum article, a subject of public interest. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed next to the associated material discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.
Replaceable?	Because the image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the historic image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic.

This historic postcard illustrates the American Meteorite Museum, operated by Harvey H. Nininger 1953-1960, as discussed in the subject article. The building still stands, but has been so extensively modified that it is no longer recognizable as the former Museum. Hence this image has unique and irreplaceable historic and educational value.
