Dear All,

 

Questions regarding a microforms digitization project:

 

20+ years ago we secured grant funding to microfilm and microfiche a
large collection of land company records - some of which we own, others
came from a number of institutions, both in the region and
internationally.  Our desire is to begin digitizing that material from
the microfilm and microfiche, both to provide broader access given the
national and international scale of our researchers, and to alleviate
some of the pressure on our ability to provide in-house access.

 

The original documents are not covered by copyright; that shouldn't be a
concern.  The microfilming was our project - so the copyright of the
format shouldn't be a problem.  What other concerns do I need to keep in
mind?  I'm not sure how ownership of the physical objects plays into
this.  Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jeremy
