Hello everyone
Copyright question for you all, which will go on for a bit so please bear with me. Last year we had a number of documents for which we own the copyright published in a book. We've recently had a query from another individual who would like to publish a selection of the same documents in a different text and who are seeking permission to include them.
The second text will only be quoting from the original archival documents, however the author of the second text originally found the documents in the first book they were published in.
So the question is, does the author of the second text need to seek permission of the publisher of the first book the records appeared in, or can they go straight to us as the copyright holder of the original documents?
To make matters even more complicated while we own the copyright in all the documents they wish to reproduce we don't actually physically own all the records themselves- some of them are held at a different Archive.
Any advice gratefully received! Please send responses to [log in to unmask] . I'm happy to summarise the responses for the list if anyone else has ever run across this problem!
Many thanks
