An important factor for genealogists to consider is copyright. You must be careful of how information from other documents is used in your research and writing. Many documents have specific restrictions placed upon their information and publishing rights.
Genealogy and Copyright Guidelines will address these considerations while guiding you through the use of research material you have found.
What You Will Learn:
Beginning with the basics of copyright law, you will be able to determine and understand which works are protected by copyright and the length of the protection. To protect your work, the process of registering it with the copyright office is discussed.
You will explore the use of copyright on maps and images, as well as written text. Fair use, public domain, as well as obtaining permission to use published work is explored.
Another aspect of copyright that is covered in the course is contract work. Specifically, what you can or cannot use while researching for clients and how to educate your clients so they understand the laws.
There are many different aspects of copyright law covered in this course. Because copyright laws apply to many occupations, the information in this course is a valuable resource for your current and future work.
*Please Note: This course is based on the laws of the United States. Other countries may have different laws. We advise you to research copyright laws in the country you live in.
