Organised by UC Arts Digital Lab – this talk will likely be of interest to a number of library staff.

“From Popper to Ruby Jones: image copyrights in the age of Wikipedia” This talk deals with the copyright status of items in GLAM collections, but also the issues specifically related to Wikipedia.

From Popper to Ruby Jones: image copyrights in the age of Wikipedia

Do you need permission to film a mural? Who owns the copyright for Popper’s passport photo? How do you get a photo into Wikipedia? Is museum taxidermy art, and can you legally photograph it? What is copyfraud? I’ll be answering all these questions at a free public talk on campus.

Dr Dickson is funded by a grant from the Wikimedia Foundation to help New Zealand organisations and the people of New Zealand engage with Wikipedia and open knowledge. Dr Dickison’s visit is being hosted by the University of Canterbury Arts Digital Lab. While at UC, he is running a number of events for students, staff and the public. He is also working with the UC Arts Digital Lab to curate the Wikipedia presence of the residential red zone.
