Entitled "Copyright & Primary Source Materials," this four-hour
meeting will bring together national experts in the field and local
practitioners working in museums, libraries and archives to examine
the copyright policy issues and practical copyright-related problems
of mounting primary source materials online.
THEMES
* What are the current intellectual property issues inhibiting the
networking of primary documents of cultural heritage online?
* What is the current law and what are the key legislative
developments affecting our work in this area?
* What are current practical solutions to current copyright problems?
* How are things changing and what new pro-active strategies do we
need to adopt in order to achieve the future?
SPEAKERS
The above themes will be the subjects of two keynote addresses by
national experts in the field: Professor Peter Jaszi (Washington
College of Law, American University) and Bernard Reilly (Head of
Research and Access, Chicago Historical Society).
After questions and comments on the issues addressed by the two main
speakers, participants will hear reports from the field in a panel
comprising:
* Tom Folsom, Legal Counsel, Denver Museum of Nature and Science
* Jim Williams, Dean of Libraries, University of Colorado at Boulder
* Kevin Anderson, archivist and historian, Casper College, Wyoming
A hallmark of the NINCH Copyright Town Meetings is the time allotted
to the discussion among participants of both specific problems and
broad issues.
CONFERENCE
The Denver Copyright Town Meeting serves as the pre-conference for
"Cultural Heritage Collaboration in the Digital Age: A Conference for
Library and Museum Leaders," designed to introduce key archive,
historical society, museum and library leaders in 23 Western states

based collaborative digitization initiative.
