CCCA & The Vermont Historical Society are pleased to announce the first in a series of workshops taught by Amanda Nelson, Esq., Principal of Artium Amore, a New Hampshire based legal firm dedicated solely to serving the artistic community and its unique legal needs.

Determining whether your organization owns the copyright to an image, painting, writing, etc., is critical in preventing a claim of copyright infringement.  This webinar will discuss the Copyright Act of 1909 versus the modern Copyright Act of 1976 and their importance to cultural institutions.  It will also look at when an organization can use copyrighted material under the Fair Use Doctrine and how to deal with “orphan works”. Bring your questions about copyright and intellectual property rights!

Pre-registration is required and a Zoom link for the meeting will be sent upon receipt of your registration. The cost of the virtual workshop is as follows:

• free for CCCA Emerging Professional and Student Members

• $10 for CCCA Professional Affiliate Members and Friends

• $15 for all others who wish to attend

Your workshop fees and additional donations help our growing community of conservation and preservation professionals aid regional cultural heritage organizations in the care and conservation of their collections and materials.  As a non-profit corporation registered in the state of Vermont, the CCCA relies on the support of our membership and community to help us develop and promote affordable opportunities for training and networking and to improve the long-term preservation of these vulnerable collections.
