PGAV FACT SHEET - Digitising Collections - Copyright Essentials
Public galleries are increasingly digitising their collections and making them available online to the community for viewing and research, including on third party websites like Victorian Collections (victoriancollections.net.au) or Trove (trove.nla.gov.au).
When doing so, they must deal fairly and respectfully with the rights of artists. Some of the key issues to take into account are detailed in this fact sheet.
This Fact Sheet has been developed by the Arts Law Centre of Australia.
