How do you post things to Instagram, Imgur, or Flickr without losing
one's copyright?

I don't know that anything I have is worth anything financially but I do
want the credit. My name or my father's name accompanying every
properly used use of the photo.

Right now, two things are on the horizon. I'm transcribing my father's
trip diary from a trip he took in 1936, and I'm scanning the photos he
took on the trip.

I'm his only surviving heir. And my mother left everything he left her
to me. Does that mean I myself have any rights regarding these things?

Even if I have no rights to the pictures, since no one can get into my
house and copy them, I have the vague idea that I'd have rights to the
scanned copy I plan to make of them, for posting online, and that those
rights would last as long and be as strong as if I'd taken the pictures
myself. Am I right at all?

And how do I post these pictures and the separate text to Instagram,
Imgur, or Flickr without losing my copyrights?

In real life terms you can't:

"Instagram does not claim ownership of any Content that you post on or
through the Service. Instead, you hereby grant to Instagram a
non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable,
sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or
through the Service, subject to the Service's Privacy Policy"

The wordings may have been changed but hardly the practical implications.

I was afraid of that. Is there any way before I post it to write over
in the corner of the pictures my father's name or my name? And the
copyright symbol?

I hate writing things in the corner and when it was chemical and not
reversible, I never put the date in the corner of a picture. I think it
ruins the art. But most of these pictures are more about history than
art anyhow. Come to think of it, they should have the date printed on
them too, for the record, and if I'm going to do that, I can put my
father's name, assuming there is a method not too expensive to do that.

I think there are between 40 and 80 photographs.
