A question for the IP folks: does anyone know what the law is in the UK on
orphan works?
I'm a member of the Publications Board of the Society of American
Archivists, and we'd like to reprint a 1965 book by Sir Hilary Jenkinson. We
have been unable to locate his estate to acquire permission, despite
considerable research by UK colleagues and the original publisher.
Is this project dead in the water unless we can find the copyright holder,
or does UK law allow some leaway for orphaned works?
Thanks for your help,
Deborah
