Workshop Description

This 2-day workshop will provide you with the basis for administration of copyright in daily archival work. One of the profession’s acknowledged experts, Maher brings you up to date on issues you need to track in the current age of information commerce—including an assessment of the bad news and the good news in the Supreme Court’s Eldred decision.

Upon completing this workshop, you’ll have:

  • Recognized the complex issues relating to authors’, owners’, and users’ rights in intellectual property;
  • Obtained grounding in the historical rationale for copyright law, including major legislative and judicial developments;
  • Discovered the relevance of U.S. federal law for archives and manuscripts;
  • Examined the current law; and
  • Determined the sequence of decision making needed for your management of copyright issues.

Participants are invited to submit specific questions related to copyright within their own institutions up to 2 weeks prior to the workshop start date.

Who should attend? Archivists and other professionals who have copyright concerns.

Attendance is limited to 30.
