In order to aid digitization of the Kent State University May 4th Collection in preparation for the 50th anniversary, University Libraries received a National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) grant which funded digitization of a selection of the large archival collection. Librarians developed new workflows to address copyright and privacy issues in assorted archival materials to be digitized. The session will highlight this work, and also provide information on the approach to complex copyright issues present in many archival collections, including fair use analysis and permission-seeking. Lastly, effective cross-training of staff and student assistants will be reviewed.
