Creating Museum Intellectual Property Policy in a Digital World
Report on NINCH Copyright Town Meeting Available
http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2002/toronto.report.html
Full and summary reports are now available on "Creating Museum Intellectual
Property Policy in a Digital World," a NINCH Copyright Town Meeting, hosted
by the Museum Computer Network at its Toronto conference (September 7,
2002), and co-sponsored by the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN).
This meeting follows "Copyright Policies in the University," a NINCH
Copyright Town Meeting hosted by the University of Oregon in November 2001,
<http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2001/eugenereport.html>.
For Lolly Gasaway, Director of the Law Library at UNC, and a presenter at
both meetings, Intellectual Property (IP) policy not only protects an
institution, it can also educate its community and encourage creative use
of copyright material, while establishing best-practice norms. The digital
expectation of easy universal access has heightened the copyright stakes
and policy is one mechanism that can ease the transition into this new
territory.
For Rina Pantalony, CHIN's legal counsel, museum IP policy can guide good
fiscal management and drive better management of IP assets, while balancing
the interests of users, curators and the institution. It can also enable
museums to join IP debates in the broader community more effectively.
The Toronto meeting focused on practical steps and key considerations to be
included in creating effective policy. The Guggenheim's Maria Pallante
recommended a broad and on-going audit of an institution's IP as the best
way to start and outlined how to do it. Such an audit grounds policy, she
said, by declaring what a museum owns, while it can also trigger new
creative projects using assets that it uncovers.
While Brian Porter of the Royal Ontario Museum convincingly demonstrated
the role of IP Policy in effective asset management, the Smithsonian's
Rachelle Browne, showed why and how economic and legal concerns have to be
balanced by moral values. An institution's core values can measure how a
proposed policy fits a museum's mission, enhances its services to the
community and respects and supports innovation.
A practical workshop enabled participants to try out outlining policy
responses to a range of situations in which many interests needed to be
balanced. The report of this meeting will form the basis of a book on
"Creating Museum IP Policy," to be written by Diane Zorich and co-published
by NINCH and CHIN in Spring 2003.
The NINCH Copyright Town Meeting series has been generously supported by
grants from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. For information on all the Town
Meetings, see http://www.ninch.org/copyright/.

I'm pleased to announce the availability online of the History of Baruch, 1847-1987. The exhibit looks at the development of CUNY's preeminent school of Business and Public Administration in the context of City University itself, of New York City, and of events, people and places from further a field. With its over 1,000 pages of original documents, images, audio and video files, most drawn from the College's own Archives and selected and annotated by Archivist Sandra Roff, the History of Baruch is sure to be one of the larger exhibits ever devoted to the history of a college or university.
