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

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!

Subject: Museum IP Digitizing Exhibition Catalogs
Hi Everyone,
An idea of digitizing all of our exhibition catalogs has been thrown on the
table. 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!
