[Genealib] Digitization Partnership Agreements

[Joanne McCarthy]

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if anyone might be willing to send me samples of partnership
agreements/contracts between a public library and a local
historical/genealogical society or association for the purpose of
digitizing a collection held by said society using library
technology/staff/resources. The digitized resources (may be photos or
books, etc) would be stored on library servers, but the public gateway
would have branding of both the library and the society.  While the
copyright laws differ between Canada and the U.S, I am interested to see
what types of issues are covered in these sample agreement/contracts.

Has anyone entered into these types of agreements for the purpose of
digitizing local history resources?

Any words of advice or insights about these types of agreements would
also be appreciated. Also, I'd love to see any examples of the finished
product on your website.

Please reply to me personally.

All the best
Joanne
