Copyright guidelinesWhat is Copyright?Copyright is in place to prevent individuals’ original work from being exploited. If you have produced an original work, written down your memories or a report, taken a photograph or been recorded, then you probably own the copyright.

Copyright covers different types of work including writings, drawings, photographs, music and the spoken word if it is recorded. If you own the copyright then we need your permission for the work to be used. We are hoping that you will let us use your work to help in our project.

Copyright can be bought and sold, assigned, bequeathed or given away. However, ownership of a document does not necessarily include ownership of copyright.

Who owns copyright?This depends upon the type of work and the date on which it was created. Generally, the first owner is the author.For photographs created between 1 July 1912 and 31 August 1989, the person who owned the material on which it was taken is the copyright owner.

Before 1912 and after 1989 the author is the person who created the photograph (normally the photographer or his employer if he worked for someone else).

How long does copyright last?Life of the author and 70 complete years after their death, or for sound recordings, 50 complete years after it was made.
