Notes
The official portraits of the Mayors of Somerville, New Jersey are put on display in the Somerville City Hall in the first year of person attaining office. This corresponds to a discernable copy of the image distributed, which is the equivalent of publication under United States copyright law. None of the images contain a copyright notice. All official portraits displayed in this manor are in the public domain up until 1977. A decision is being made if post 1977 portraits will be released under a creative commons license.
