Copyright and Conditions of Use
The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17 United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Please note that copyright pertains to both published and unpublished materials. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
Reproductions in any format may not be further reproduced, sold, shared, distributed, displayed, published, or given to another person, company, or institution for any purpose in excess of fair use, as defined by copyright law, without the express permission of the copyright holder. Reproductions obtained from the Stewart Bell Jr. Archives may not be deposited in another library, archives, or repository.
The Stewart Bell Jr. Archives reserves the right to refuse to accept a reproduction order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of the copyright law or based on the condition of the item or on issues regarding ownership or donor-instituted restrictions.
