Physical Contributions/Gifts
Any information, whether in digital/electronic form or media (text, documents, image, video, and audio files) or, physical documentation (ephemera, memorabilia, primary source documents, photos, film, audiotape, or any other non-digital media such as records) freely provided by any visitor/user/participant of this website in person, by mail, or by other conveyance is done so without compensation. The donor has the option to request that they are credited/cited (recognized), when/if the material(s) are used. The donation must be accompanied by a letter from the donor/donating party stating that they are freely donating the items as listed in the accompanying signed letter.

It may be possible, in certain circumstances, for the donor to take a tax deduction for the donation of their items or collection to The Artists Index. As such, we suggest they speak with their tax accountant, attorney, and/or certified appraiser first since we are not qualified to appraise the monetary value of any item(s) or collection(s) that the donor is considering donating.

Copyright
Copyright assignment is complex. In some cases, the copyright ownership of donated materials, ephemera, or memorabilia must be clarified. Please note, copyright belongs to the creator of art, writings, and other original material (such as photos and music). It can and may be legally transferred to heirs or others. Additionally, ownership of copyright is separate from ownership of the physical item being donated. In some cases, we may have to ask donors to donate the physical items as well as any related/attached copyright the donor might own in order to allow our principles, employees, interns, sub-contractors, and others, to use portions of the materials in the performance of their work.

The terms of U.S. Copyright Law allow us to provide copies of the donated items in our possession/collections for scholarly research use. Under the “fair use” exemption, the law permits us, our assignees, agents, and heirs in perpetuity, to publish portions of an item under copyright. The permission to publish or quote extensively from the material must still be obtained from the copyright holder. For more information please refer to www.copyright.gov or consult an attorney.
