Rights and the Pictures Collection
The Library maintains a number of collections containing rare and unique materials. Often these collections contain a mix of published and unpublished material. In order to facilitate access, copying and publishing, donors of rare and unique material are asked to complete a rights agreement which sets out agreed conditions under which a library patron may, for example, make copies for research or study, or publish an extract in a book. Library staff will refer first to these rights agreements when determining how you may use material in a particular collection.
