Subject: Archiving online newsletter
Good morning,
Many of the documents that previously recorded the happenings of my organisations are no longer created and the events of the week are instead captured together in one digital newsletter. I'd be delighted to find a way to store and access these digital newsletters effectively within the archive.
I'd be interested to hear how other archive professionals save digital newsletters. We don't have a large budget and it's fair to say my working knowledge of digital preservation is fairly thin on the ground so I'd be pleased to hear of budget and 'dummies guide to digital preservation' options.
Best wishes
Katy

Subject: Copyright query
Good afternoon all,
I have a collection of (original) photographic negatives taken in the 1940s and 50s. I understand that the first owner of the copyright for photographs taken during this period is the owner of the negatives. I'm currently struggling to understand is how this rule translates for subsequent owners. Does copyright reside with whoever owns the negatives, or does is reside with the heirs of the original copyright owner?
Many thanks for any information

Subject: Re: Copyright query: Update
I have had a number of responses to my query - thank you all, it is much appreciated and (pleasingly!) confirms my original thoughts on this. For anyone who's interested - my confusion arose when reading the section on page 5 of this guidance document:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/information-management/copyright-related-rights.pdf
It states that
"the first owner(s) of copyright will be:...
the owner of the negative - in the case of a photograph taken between 1 July 1912 and 31 July 1989"
The guide goes on to say that:
"The present owner of any of these copyrights will often, but not always, be the direct descendant(s) or successor (such as a successor company) of the first owner."
This is where my confusion arose - I had originally assumed that copyright was with the collection's heirs, but as this stated that original copyright ownership was with the owner of the physical object (specifically negatives) this appeared different to other copyright examples I had come up again.
I appear to have overcomplicated this issue - once again, thank you for all the responses.
Best wishes
Kelda
