Dear List:

 

Would anyone know who holds copyright to the architectural and landscape designs of:

 

1.                   Charles A. Platt (1861-1933)

2.                   Olmstead Brothers

 

We have a collection of drawings for the Richard Garlick residence here in the Youngstown, Ohio area and have had a patron request copies.  Aside from issues raised by the fragile nature of some of the drawings themselves and how to duplicate them safely, we are concerned with who holds copyright to them, and if in fact we could reproduce them for a patron.  We know we do not hold copyright, but we have no record on file as to who does.

 

If any of you know who does hold copyright, or if anyone knows of other repositories which have collections of materials for either Platt or the Olmsteads, I would appreciate the information.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,

Pamela L. Speis
