Automated Copyright and Due Diligence for Archive Collections

Funded by the TNA Archives Testbed Fund, this project is a collaboration between the Art Museum and Special Collections. It explores whether automated copyright permission systems being designed and trialled by the museum can be expanded to automate and streamline the due diligence process for third-party copyright in archive collections and manage the resulting documentation more effectively. The final report is currently being written and we are exploring future phases with UCL Advanced Computing Research Centre.
