The role of the archivist in managing (or not) copyright

Hi Chelsea,

Thanks for your comments. My page is still a bit skeletal at the moment ... more to come. Yes, that's a good suggestion. I spoke to the SFU Archivist about copyright, and he explained what you outline above, that archivists have a legal obligation to inform patrons, but that the onus is on the users to abide by copyright law. As per our discussion over email, I have decided to stick with Canadian law only, as there have been some interesting changes (including the one you mention) to the law that were advocated for by archivists and that affect archival institutions.
