THE OPENCULTURE 2011 SALE!
To celebrate OpenCulture 2011 - The Greatest Collections Management Show
on Earth!
The Collections Trust has slashed the prices of their Practical Guide
books by 50%.
Collections Trust Practical Guides
Documentation: a practical guide is the essential first stop for anyone
wishing to manage a museum collection and its documentation to a high
standard. For those with no previous museum experience, this book presents
the basics of documentation clearly and concisely, and for those with more
experience it provides an easy-reference guide to good documentation.
Collections Management: a practical guide is the essential source of
reference for anyone responsible for collecting, caring for, and recording
information about cultural collections and making them accessible to other
people. The framework method described in this book is based on that set
out in BSI PAS 197: Code of Practice for Cultural Collections Management.
Copyright: a practical guide provides essential guidance for anyone
wishing to manage copyright in a collection. This book will be of interest
to archive, library and museum professionals and provides a first stop in
copyright guidance for collections managers, archivists, curators,
librarians, volunteers, students and trustees.
Pest Management: a practical guide provides cultural heritage
organisations with essential information on identifying and dealing with
pest problems, and gives comprehensive guidance on implementing an
effective pest management programme.
The books include chapters on key subject areas, Top Tips, Bewares and
Legal Alerts, and utilise bullets-points, tables and flow charts, and are
written in Plain English, making them accessible to anyone working within
the cultural heritage sector.
You can purchase the books online from: http://shop.collectionslink.org.uk

Dear John
The Collections Trust's publication Copyright: a practical guide (2009) is
horribly expensive at £40 for 42 pages, but does contain some good content
including a page on orphan works and risk management and mitigation
strategies.
Kind regards
Jack

Dear all
We have recently been asked by a private company to provide a copy of a
print (itself a copy of a painting) for reproduction on an interpretation
panel. The original artist is dead but the work is still in copyright. We
do not know who the copyright holder of the original painting is now, nor
do we know who produced the print from the painting.
What do your museums do in these circumstances? Does anyone have a policy
on providing reproductions of items in it collection which are copyright,
but for which the copyright holder is unknown or cannot be found?
Best wishes
John
