AFIK the U.S. cannot assert copyright on its own works, so it should be OK
to sell them, in the U.S. at least.  BTW I just downloaded a 174mb file from
the site, though as you say most are too small.  In a number of cases they
have large tif files of scans from the original negative and the print
paired.  Fascinating stuff indeed.
