Memorial University, St. John's, Newfoundland

 

LAW AND ORIGINAL ORDER: LEGAL ASPECTS OF ARCHIVES

Do you understand the basis of copyright law as it applies to archival
material?  Do you know the context in which privacy legislation applies
to archival documents?  This 1-day workshop will provide an awareness of
legal issues that may arise in the course of archival activities, as
well as the ethical obligations of acquisition/accessioning, appraisal,
and access/reference services.  Through presentation and discussion,
participants will become familiar with the general structure of the
Canadian legal system and with legislative requirements concerning
admissibility of archival records as evidence.
