I'm hearing it asserted online that the family (um, I mean Adams' family)
is denying that these are his work; but I can't find any reference to that
more authoritative than random people in mailing lists.  There's certainly
no mention of it on the major Adams web sites, or in articles Google News
finds me.

Unfortunately, both claims and denials may have more to do with jockeying
over money than with trying to determine if the pictures are really by
Adams.

If the pictures are in fact by Adams, and haven't been published before,
it seems like they're still in copyright, and the copyright would be owned
by his heirs (or somewhere the copyrights were formally transferred to;
copyrights cannot be transferred "informally"), which would seem to
interfere with publication by others.  However, if the family is actually
denying these are Adams' work, then presumably they can't claim copyright
ownership....
