Copyright

Copies (photocopies or photographic reproductions) are made for research and private study purposes. Information about any request for copies made for research and private study may be made available to the copyright owner or his/her authorized representative. Any use of a copy for a purpose other than research or private study may require the authorization of the copyright owner of the work in question. Responsibility regarding questions of copyright that may arise in the use of a copy is assumed by the recipient.

Upon request, the Archives will endeavor to provide recipients with the copyright status of material in its holdings as well as the name of the person or organization holding copyright, when this information is know.

Donor Restrictions

Access to some material held by the Archives is restricted due to donor request. In some cases, restrictions can be waived with donor agreement. The researcher is responsible for drafting a letter to the donor (or the heir of the donor's estate) explaining why access to restricted material is being sought. The Archives will act as liaison in this process.

Conservation Restrictions

Conservation considerations may result in restricted access to archival documents. For instance, some early CNE programs are too fragile to handle and some types of film cannot be viewed on a projector without causing damage.

Restrictions on Unprocessed Records

Access to some unprocessed records may be restricted until a proper inventory can be completed and physical and intellectual control established over the records.

Municipal Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy Act

The Archives staff will inform researchers of any restrictions pertaining to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
