Copyright Notice

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United
States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions
of copyrighted materials. The Privacy Act of 1974 (5
United States Code 552a) governs the use of materials that document
private individuals, groups, and corporations.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are
authorized to furnish a reproduction if the document does not infringe the
privacy rights of an individual, group, or corporation. These specified
conditions of authorized use include:

– non-commercial and non-profit study, scholarship, research, or
teaching
– criticism or commentary
– as a NBWM archives preservation or security copy for research
use
– as a research copy for deposit in another institution

If the researcher later uses a copy or reproduction for purposes in excess of
“fair use,” the researcher is personally liable for copyright, privacy, or
publicity infringement and agrees to indemnify the New Bedford Whaling Museum
from any legal action as a result of the error. Permission to obtain a
photographic, xerographic, digital, or other copy of a document does not indicate permission to publish, exhibit,
perform, reproduce, sell, distribute, or prepare derivative works from the
document without permission from the copyright holder and from any private
individual, group, or corporation shown or otherwise recorded.

Permission to publish, exhibit, perform, reproduce, prepare derivative works
from, sell, or otherwise distribute the item must be obtained separately in
writing from the holder of the original copyright (or if the creator is dead,
from his/her heirs) as well as from any individual(s), groups, or corporations
whose name, image, recorded words, or private information (e.g. employment
information) may be reproduced in the source material. The holder of the
original copyright is not necessarily the New Bedford Whaling Museum. The New
Bedford Whaling Museum is not legally liable for copyright, privacy, or
publicity infringement when materials are wrongfully used after being provided
to researchers for “fair use.”

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if
fulfillment of the order is judged in violation of copyright or federal or state
privacy law. This institution also places restrictions on the use of cameras,
photocopiers, and scanners in the research room.
