(rshsdepot) Question on reproducing photos

[I95BERNIEW_@_aol.com]

I was wondering how historical photos are captured and reproduced in either  
a print or Web format.
 
For instance, how do books such as the "Images of America" series or Great  
American Railroad Stations take the old photos and reproduce them?  Do they  
have to take a physical print of the picture, copy it and then return it to the  
photo's owner?  
 
Let's assume the photographs are not currently covered by copyright.  
 
Thanks.
