>These are the (edited) terms that look most relevant to the disposal
>of a whole collection:
>The Collection Holder undertakes to inform DACS of any change in the

>slides.
>
>If you want to transfer the collection to someone else, or move it to
>some other location, without the permission of DACS, this is a breach
>of the terms.

>To sum up.  I think that if you are disposing of your whole slide
>collection, you might want to let DACS know.  I don't think there is
>any licence need to dispose of the collection in any special way -
>except possibly to prevent other people picking up the slides.  I can
>imagine there might be practical issues in throwing away slides.

>If you want to stick to the terms of the licence, you should not allow
>the slides to be transferred to anyone else without DACS' permission.

>I would very strongly advise that you do not sell your slides.

>The terms of the Courtauld Colour Slide Scheme are rather different.
>They say that the slides (and digital images) should not be disposed
>of.  The clause may imply that the slides should not be disposed of
>without permission of the Courtauld Colour Slide Scheme and the
>copyright holder.

>I think this wording is unhelpful!  The Scheme has been

>rightsowner for each slide!  You might want to let the Courtauld
>Institute know that you are disposing of your Courtauld Scheme slides.
>  I think the slides should be disposed of in such a way as to prevent
