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
