It's great to see all the material that has already been digitized. I can understand not clearing non-collections illustrations, but what about works that are still protected by copyright? Were these reproductions re-cleared for the digital version or have some considered this an extension of the printed? It seems like the majority of books released online contain only out of copyright art work, but for those with more contemporary focused publications, I'd be interested to hear how you've dealt with this issue.
Thank you Danielle Vancouver Art Gallery On 7/16/13 4:38 PM, "Deborah Wythe" <deborahwythe at hotmail.com> wrote: (With apologies to the ImageMuse members for the cross posting): When we started looking into digitizing our exhibition catalogs, we discovered that a large number of them had already been digitized as part of the Google Books project and were up on the Hathi Trust website. We released most of them under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license so that the full-text versions would be available. Depending on which collection provided them to Google Books to digitize, the illustrations may be of better of lesser quality. All are in b/w, and the covers generally weren't scanned. For art books, it's not ideal, but at least the texts are out there. Following in LACMA's Reading Room project footsteps, we decided not to try to clear all of the non-collections illustrations. So far, no repercussions there, and a non-pain, minimal effort way to get the stuff out there. A more recent joint project with the Frick digitized a few hundred small catalogs from the Gilded Age, Those will be sent to the Internet Archive and will be on our website as well. As soon as I get around to finishing the metadata and loading!

Has anyone done this before? What were the copyright/logistical challenges? The ideal would be to put the catalogs online eventually. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
