Dear Mr Parkhouse
PARISH REGISTER FILES ON FIDONET
Thank you for your letter of 3 August. I am sorry to have been so slow in
replying - there have been a number of novel issues to consider.
The Archive and Record Service will agree to the reproduction of transcribed
records in machine-readable form free of charge provided:
(1) the transcripts are circulated without profit to the transcriber and with a
proviso that any subsequent copying is allowed only if free of profit.
Anyone wishing to include a subsequent copy as part of a profit-making
publication or distribution would have to apply to us for permission.
(2) a statement to this effect is included with the posting.
(3) a copy of the transcript is supplied (by internet or disk) to the Service.
(4) the transcriber agrees to the transcript being made available to users at
the Record Office and to its re-use in Archive Service databases and
distribution over the internet or by other means. The transcriber makes no claim
for copyright against any such use by the Archive and Record Service.
If you feel that these terms are reasonable, please go ahead. If you have any
queries or counter-proposals, please let me know.
Our policy is to encourage the distribution of information from the archives on
a 'republic of letters' of basis for sharing between scholars and private users
of historical and genealogical information for non-profit making purposes. In
cases where the ownership of records remains in private hands we may have to be
more restrictive in preserving owners' rights.
Yours sincerely
ADAM GREEN
