Often, in genealogy, questions related to copyright arise. For several
years, I've had a website where I tried to answer many of those questions
and I've actively participated in the discussions on the copyright-l mailing
list at RootsWeb. More recently, I've been writing articles based on what
I've learned about copyright, which I am also posting online. My most
recent article is intended to apply some basics of copyright to genealogy
related issues.
"Copyright Fundamentals for Genealogy," was specifically written to grant
free reprint and redistribution rights. It is located at:
http://www.stellar-one.com/copyright_concepts/fundamentals_gene.htm .
Please feel free to use the article for any genealogy related use, such as:
- your own website (with its look and feel),
- email to others,
- genealogy or historical society newsletter,
- as a free handout at libraries
The only restrictions that I have for its use is that its text is not edited
or altered and, if used in a website, that a link is provided back to my
copyright website.
Thanks
