Since we've gotten questions in the past about stock photography, this blog may be helpful. The author (a librarian who maintains an ACRL mailing list) has encouraged readers to add information to it, so check it occasionally for new links.
In our Reference collection, another option for tracking stock images down (albeit a bit more labor intensive) is one of the several Illustration Index volumes we have at REF.ROOM N7525 .G72. These little gems (which cover more than photography) were something I discovered while shifting (and sifting through) our Reference collection. Later editions of the Illustration Index are available in the Loeb Design, Fine Arts, and Widener Reference collections.
A Wikipedia entry on Public Domain Image Resources looks promising.
For moving images, the Internet Archive offers quite a selection and Google Videos partnership with the National Archives (which offers interesting historical stock footage).
And by the way: look at what I found searching the Creative Commons for "Harvard libraries."
