Currently the Durban Local History Museums are reviewing the copyright
legislation that governs its collection.  This exercise has highlighted a
number of unanswered questions for our organisation which I know other
institutions deal with daily.

Firstly what do other history museums charge for the usage of images of
original artifacts they hold, in books, on covers, invitations, for
posters, for films, CD roms, fashion shoots,etc?  Secondly do you impose
a inter museum royalty fee?  Thirdly, I am keen to obtain information
about copyright legislation that governs museums, preferably ones used by
museums to guide them.

Thank you.
