Fall Workshop Week

Sharing Archival Collections in the 21st Century: Legal Issues

Archives have priceless riches in their collections. As more and more tools spring forth making it easier to share collections online, legal issues become more salient than ever before.  When may an archive share those collections online without violating copyright, privacy or other laws?  What rights are transferred when archives post collections to social media?  When may archives make copies available to users?  What considerations are added to the mix with content that is born digital?

This workshop will offer an exploration of copyright, privacy and other legal issues most relevant to the 21st century archivists.  Participants are invited to bring samples from special collections that present unresolved issues.
