The sixth edition of this respected work has been extensively revised and updated to help archivists and records managers keep up to date with the complexities of copyright legislation.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

As an archivist or records manager, it is essential to keep up to date with the complexities of copyright legislation, and Copyright for Archivists and Records Managers has been described as an 'unparalleled' resource for that purpose.

What is copyright? Who owns it and for how long? What rights does it confer, and what are the limitations and exceptions? This comprehensive manual uniquely outlines copyright law in the UK with special reference to the unpublished materials commonly found in archive and records collections, such as maps, legal records, records of local authorities, and parish registers. It also provides comprehensive information on authorship and the duration of copyright in both older and modern works, as well as the wide range of exceptions and limitations to copyright, particularly those relevant to archivists, records managers, librarians, and curators.

The book offers advice on rights in the electronic environment, moral rights, and rights in databases, and contains extensive tables of the duration of copyright in other countries.

The sixth edition of this respected work has been extensively revised and updated, in particular by:

  • Revision of the commentaries on the nature of originality in literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, and of a substantial part of a copyright work.
  • Updating of the explanation of how a work of overseas origin qualifies for copyright protection in the UK, to reflect changes to the legislation.
  • Revision of the commentaries on publication, issue of copies to the public, and communication to the public.
  • More explanation of the exceptions for quotation, text and data mining, disability, rental and lending, education, broadcasts, access to digital material on the premises, and the publication of older unpublished works.
  • Updating of the charts for the duration of copyright where countries have amended their legislation.

Readership: This book will be useful reading for all archivists and records managers; LIS professionals in libraries, museums, and galleries; students, researchers, and genealogists.
