I visited one last year where I had to pay a fee to use my camera to take photos of original documents. However, I was not permitted to use those photos for anything other than personal research. If I wanted to, for example, post a section of a document as an image on my blog, I had to request permission in writing, and there would be a charge.<br /><br />A month later, different archive, different country: no photography charge, and you're free to use your photos however you wish, though the archive requests you cite their reference, so that others are able to find the original document.<br /><br />Is the above about copyright? Or is it about some archives struggling to fund themselves and gouging the public in the process?Maggiehttp://blog.iwikiwi.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-4149088133835948092012-02-13T12:30:44.997-07:002012-02-13T12:30:44.997-07:00Excellent.
