A sample visual relaese form can be seen at the following URL from the Save
Outdoor Sculpture web site from Heritage Preservation:

http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PDFS/Visual%20Release.pdf

It shouldn't be used as boilerplate but gives you a good idea of how a visual
release form for images of cultural property might be constructed.

For people releases go to the following URL of the National Press
Photographers Association:

This thread reminds me that when I was employed by a history musuem some
years ago that a waiver releasing all visual rights to the company as a condition
of employment was included in the job acceptance paperwork. I do remember that
they were in the process of folding intellectual property into that as well.

Do many musuems have such employee waivers in place as a condition of
employment?

Cheers!
