 U.S. Copy­right law test

The copy­right law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) gov­erns the mak­ing of pho­to­copies or other repro­duc­tions of copy­righted mate­r­ial.  Under cer­tain con­di­tions spec­i­fied in the law, libraries and archives are autho­rized to fur­nish a pho­to­copy or other repro­duc­tion.  One of these spec­i­fied con­di­tions is that the pho­to­copy or other repro­duc­tion is not to be “used for any pur­pose other than pri­vate study, schol­ar­ship or research.”  If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a pho­to­copy or other repro­duc­tion for pur­poses in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copy­right infringement.

Pol­icy on Dig­i­tized Collections

Dig­i­tized col­lec­tions are made acces­si­ble for research pur­poses.  We have indi­cated what we know about copy­right and rights of pri­vacy, pub­lic­ity or trade­mark in our find­ing aids.  How­ever, due to the nature of archival col­lec­tions, it is not always pos­si­ble to iden­tify this infor­ma­tion.  We are eager to hear from any rights own­ers, so that we may pro­vide accu­rate infor­ma­tion.  When a rights issue needs to be addressed, upon request we will remove the mate­r­ial from pub­lic view while we review the claim.
