The State Library says more than 120,000 photographs from its collections are now out of copyright and more widely available for use.

Director Alan Smith said it would be a great benefit for South Australian researchers, family historians and the media.

The library says it has tens of thousands of unique photographs of early SA life, prior to the mid-1950s.

It says it has spent many months improving access to its collections and removing copyright restrictions from more works.
