Hi Seth,

I would definitely recommend consulting ARL Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries. Section 3 discusses digitizing to preserve at risk items.

Best,

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Copyright and VHS conversion

Hello all,

I'm beginning to convert our museum's VHS tapes into DVD and .mp4 for uploading to YouTube. From my experience in college libraries, I know that converting a film which we don't own the copyright is a violation of copyright. However, there are some VHS tapes which arent available (to my knowledge) as DVDs. Some examples would be video presentations of exhibits at other museums. Would it be possible to make copies on DVD or streaming video of such items? By the way, access to these items would be restricted to museum staff and volunteers.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
