Dear Mr. Pietsch,
Regarding copyright, you retain copyright to any photos you took of the drawings made by your father. The copyright to the artworks and photographs does not revert to the Museum automatically upon donation of the works. The copyright to the photographs that you took stays with you so you have every right to upload those photos to Wikipedia. I am happy to provide you with language necessary for you to pass on to Wikipedia so you can reload the images. Since the Museum does not, in fact, hold the copyright to those photos, we cannot upload them.
Best,
Jennifer
