Gregory Smith wanted information regarding copyright laws and museum exhibits. Let me speak as someone whose copyrighted work forms 50% of one small museum's g raphic displays. The state museum at Chief Timothy Recreation Area at Silcott, Washington, devote s about half of their display to the extinct town of Silcott and the other half to the Native American village there. All the photographs for Silcott used are c opyrighted by me. In addition, an artist exactly copied a copyrighted drawing I made of the general store and had the gall to sign his/her name to it. When the exhibit was being assembled they contacted me for permission to use the photogra phs and drawings, which I was happy to oblige. But I never gave someone permissi on to redraw my artwork and pass it off as their own. Is this not only unethical but also a violation of the copyright laws? I would like some feedback on the matter. Thanks. William H. Adams P.O. Box 1177 Philomath, OR 97370-1177 USA 503-929-3102 -3264 fax [log in to unmask]
