This is the indispensable reference tool for those in museums and galleries who deal with questions of copyright. It shows that, when properly handled, copyright is more than an administrative burden - it can provide opportunities for institutions to achieve their core objectives. The user-friendly guide comprehensively addresses issues such as:

What is copyright?
How long does copyright last?
How can you make money from copyright and other intellectual property rights?
What are the consequences of unauthorised use?

A wealth of practical advice and information is offered, including a series of photocopiable sample legal agreements which cover matters such as filming, publishing, licensing rights and multi-media issues.

Written by a team of legal experts on copyright, A Guide to Copyright for Museums and Galleries will be an invaluable resource for busy professionals.
