The FAUK Copyright Working Group is developing this page. The aim is to build up a comprehensive source of both general copyright information and more specialist archive & moving image copyright information for members to make use of, providing links to Organisations, Copyright Guidance and Information Resources, Tools, Publications, Case Studies & Reports.
NEWS ref BASECAMP- 29 October 2018:
At the last FAUK meeting it was agreed to open up membership of the Basecamp site, currently used by the Copyright Group, to any FAUK member who is interested. The Basecamp site will be used to enable discussion on copyright topics and information sharing. We hope that this forum will allow for the helpful exchange of film archive sector copyright matters and provide a secure environment where any copyright or licensing question can be asked and experiences shared. The Copyright Working Group will use the issues raised on Basecamp to inform ideas for future training sessions and workshops. If you would like to be added to the Basecamp site please can you email Annabelle.shaw@bfi.org.uk
