Copyright and Conditions of Use

The UCLA Library has made every effort to determine that information related to copyright and other restrictions in our collections is accurate. However, rights in historical, archival and digital collections may be difficult or impossible to determine. The Library offers broad public access to our collections as a contribution to education and scholarship. Some materials in these collections may be protected by the U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.). In addition, the reproduction of some materials may be restricted by terms of University of California gift or purchase agreements, donor restrictions, privacy and publicity rights, licensing and trademarks.

Transmission or reproduction of materials protected by copyright beyond that allowed by fair use requires the written permission of the copyright owners. Works not in the public domain cannot be commercially exploited without permission of the copyright owner. Responsibility for any use rests exclusively with the user. The UCLA Library is eager to hear from any copyright owners who are not properly identified so that the appropriate information may be provided in the future.
