When special collections libraries hold rare books and other published materials, they face the same challenges as other libraries when it comes to copyright and the allowances of Fair Use<\/a>. But what about their archival collections — unpublished items like documents and photos?<\/p>\n

In some cases, the repository\u2019s contract with the donor dictates that copyright stays with the donor. That would make those items subject to the same policies as published items under copyright, including Fair Use. Luckily, in most cases, donors transfer copyright to the repository, which puts it in the unique position to potentially allow greater access than Fair Use, but certainly within it.<\/p>\n

\"Ornate<\/a>In rare cases, though, a donor stipulates that no one be allowed to access the materials for any reason, usually for a set time. If the archive agrees to that\u00a0stipulation,\u00a0those items in essence remain private property. At this point, we leave the world of copyright and enter the realm of privacy law,\u00a0where Fair Use does not apply.<\/p>\n

Right of privacy<\/a>\u00a0may also\u00a0come into play with\u00a0donations\u00a0that include personal information not about the donor but about someone else, for example, a relative’s financial or medical records. Then again, if that donated material constitutes intellectual property\u00a0created by a third party, we\u2019re back under copyright law \u2013 after all, the donor can\u2019t transfer to the repository a copyright he or she doesn\u2019t actually hold.<\/p>\n

Clearly, Fair Use can be a complicated subject when it comes to unpublished materials. As expressed by the Society of American Archivists (SAA), one of the core values of the archives profession is to balance the pursuit of knowledge with legitimate protections on access. Where it’s not a matter of privacy, fair use is essential to an academic archive’s mission.<\/p>\n
