Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Photography Drive

Hello all,

Our museum has decided to do a Photography drive.  This drive is about  
getting people to bring up images they have of the surrounding area,  
primarily the county.  While we know that some are not going to be  
willing to just give us the originals, what we want to do is be able  
to scan the pictures at a high resolution in order to use these  
pictures for exhibits and slide show presentations.  I am not sure how  
to word the conditions for the owner of the photographs to sign when  
we scan the pictures, which would allow us to reproduce them.  Also  
since the Museum wouldn't have ownership of the originals we would not  
be able to reproduce these pictures to the public without permission  
from the owner. If anyone has a document or conditions they would like  
to share please feel free to email me off the list.  I hope this makes  
sense, I was just thrown this and my mind is scattered.

Thank you so much,


Christa McCay
