Library and Archives Canada Lawsuit

James Lateer Wrote:Mr. Kowalski: Are the papers actually digitized but not released as such, or is it the policy of the Archives to forbid a researcher from taking, for instance, cell phone copies or scanning them onto flashdrives?

If copying is forbidden, is this the uniform policy for all of the documents in the archives or are the Bloomfield papers being treated uniquely in this respect?

James Lateer

James:

Sorry for the delay in responding. Am not sure if the policy regarding digitizing of documents being reviewed is uniform. Whether or not a document can be copied is probably based on the donor's wishes. In Bloomfield's case, copying is permitted because he imposed no restriction on making copies of documents.

John
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you, John Kowalski have a digitized copy of these documents. Is there any legal, ethical or other obstruction from you (or someone you designate) putting them online in a digitized form? If they were released, they were released. Yes, for publication, one would have to go to the containing archive to get permission to publish and want to see the original - but for research.... I can name some websites that would likely host them, or you could build your own.
