Keeping Within the Lines: Approaches to Copyright in Art and Design Archives
London Metropolitan Archives, London
Friday 13 March, 10.15am - 5pm
Organised by ARLIS/UK & Ireland, Committee for Art & Design Archives (CADA) in partnership with The National Archives and the ‘Archiving the Arts’ initiative.
A study day comprising presentations, panel discussions and a practical workshop, focusing on copyright and other legal issues in relation to the use of art and design archives. Expert speakers will explore the principles of copyright presented by current legislation and thinking, and discuss the issues, challenges and opportunities of using copyright-protected archive material for outputs such as research, publication, exhibition and artistic intervention. The event will aim to provide the practical skills and understanding required to use and appropriate archive material in rich and diverse ways, while ensuring the interests of creators and rights holders are protected.
The National Archives has a role to support archive collections wherever they are held, by gathering and sharing knowledge of collections and providing advice on good practice. The ‘Archiving the Arts’ initiative aims to support arts archives held by organisations and individuals. It takes a practical approach, aiming to make these collections more discoverable and encouraging new partnerships to share skills and knowledge. Archiving the Arts and CADA work across and beyond the established archives sector, to seek out little-known and under resourced collections and to encourage development and collaboration to support good practice and wider access.
