Connecticut Digital Archive Interactive Copyright Guide

The Connecticut Digital Archive (CTDA) provides this guide as a way to begin thinking about rights statements and your digital collections. We recognize the guide is very general in nature and does not delve into many particular details that could affect the rights status of certain items or collections. Each institution should perform its own research to come to a final decision about the rights statuses of their holdings. This guide is merely a tool to help institutions think about the questions surrounding copyright and is not meant to constitute legal advice.
