Hello All, I am seeking information about copyright compliance on historic copies of local public school yearbooks. If anyone out there in library land has had their local yearbook collection digitized and hosted to a cloud so it is accessible from the library website can you tell me how you obtained permission and how did you figure out who to obtain permission from.

We just had our yearbooks scanned by OCI. They do only high school yearbooks but they paid for the shipping cost to send and return the materials. The digital copies came back on CD in a jpeg format. With regards to the copyright I found this article very helpful: http://www.legalgenealogist.com/2014/03/24/copyright-and-the-school-yearbook / Gregory Hatch Reference Librarian Comstock Township Library (269)345-0136 ---------------------------------------- From: "COO Lavonne Marshall" <coolm@llcoop.org> Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2016 3:37 PM To: michlib-l@mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Yearbook digitization Hello All, I am seeking information about copyright compliance on historic copies of local public school yearbooks.
