An outreach event delivered in partnership with the Collections Trust

This session provided an introduction to the sometimes daunting world of rights management, exploring collections protected by intellectual property rights, particularly copyright. We discussed basic principles including obtaining and recording permissions, risk management and orphan works, as well as how to apply the SPECTRUM Rights Management procedure within your organisation.

In 2015, Museum Development Yorkshire published updated guidance on museum rights management. Find a full copy of the free resources produced by Naomi Korn, here:
