If you wish to publish images online or in print, even if for educational purposes, you will first need to determine whether or not the image is protected by copyright, then find out how to get copyright clearance.

You may also need to obtain permission to publish from the institution that owns the image in question, whether or not the image is in the public domain.

Creative Commons provides free tools that let artists easily mark their creative work with the freedoms they want it to carry.  You can search for CC images in the public domain and/or under Creative Commons licenses that allow use.
