Sound barriers: Oral history, copyright, and the OHRRG experience at the State Library of Western Australia [slides]

ALIA Information Online 2015 Conference, 2-5 February 2015, Sydney: at the edge.
 
This conference presentation (PowerPoint slides) discusses uncertainty around rights in oral history recordings, in both a legal and practical sense, and the variety of approaches and understandings within the industry and community. The author presents analysis of the oral history collection of the State Library of Western Australia. Through an understanding of the history of your collection, planning, and a consistent approach, it is very possible to tackle the copyright barriers to making oral history interviews available.
