IP Paper (10% of final grade) (DUE October 6) = 12 Points (4 points per object)

Understanding copyright is very important to a digitization project. A project must abide by the
rules or face possible litigation.

For this assignment, imagine that in front of you are three documents:

1. A personal letter written by Kate Gleason dated December 23, 1932. Gleason had been president of the First National Bank of East Rochester, NY. The letter was written to a friend, who is also deceased.
2. A book with the following citation: Phillips, Chester Arthur. Banking and the business cycle; a study of the great depression in the United States. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1937.
   
3. A photograph of Fannie Barrier Williams (1855-1944) that contains no date and no information on who took it or where.

(Note that you do not need any additional information on these three items. You know all that you need to know.)

For each item, write one-page (single spaced) that discusses whether or not the item can be digitized and why. I WILL NOT READ ANYTHING MORE THAN ONE PAGE PER DOCUMENT. Include pointers to rules or guidelines that you might follow or consult. APA-style citations, please.
