Workshop 4: Navigating Image Rights and Permissions

Friday, March 5, 2021 11am–12:30pm CST

How do you navigate the rights of artists—and the photographers who document their work—in your dissertation, articles, and/or forthcoming book project? This workshop will be an open forum to discuss attendees’ questions and concerns. Please bring your questions to the workshop or submit them in advance for consideration! By conducting copyright assessments of live examples, we’ll cover an overview of image copyright, best practices for requesting images, and fair use. We’ll also look ahead to tips on tracking permission requests through platforms like AirTable, which will be covered in Workshop 5, Part 2.

This workshop will be led by Anne M. Young, Director of Legal Affairs and Intellectual Property at Newfields. Young is also the author of Rights and Reproductions: The Handbook for Cultural Institutions (2019, 2nd ed., American Alliance of Museums).
