Pretty much. But if scanning things gives you a copyright claim, that's the way it would work. This is one of the reasons I have little respect for archivists/museums who are afraid of losing revenue because of this; the alternative implications for copyright law and cultural material are absolutely bonkers and positively short-sighted. It's not my problem that their past revenue models were based on bad legal models.
But fortunately there's nothing in US precedent to make us think it is going in that direction.

However, we should certainly keep track of any image we use under the assumptions of Bridgeman v. Corel, so that if the law or precedent changes we can re-evaluate them.
In other words, basically every public-domain image except PD-self and some PD-USGov.
