Description

Briston’s entry in The Digital Archives Handbook concerns the legal ramifications of archiving and the difficulties that occur when trying to ascribe proper credit to the owner of an archive entry or piece of intellectual property. She details how the transfer of archival material between parties can be incredibly brief or include negotiations that span multiple years. While usually not difficult, archivists must take great care in following all copyright laws and maintaining privacy for parties involved.
