i2010 Digital Libraries: Test Case "Michael Collins Photograph and the National Museum, Dublin, Republic of Ireland"


Here we have a recent case which is important for the issues of i2010 Digital Libraries.
I think it comes under the DOA 2, DOA 3, and PDC 7.

Title: "Museum slams sale of Collins photo on internet" The Sunday Tribune, 13 November 2005



Argument:
I personally believe that the owners of the Photograph in question were within their rights. But, there is an obvious gap in the Law with respect to original material such as this. I recommend that all such Photographs be digitized (at cost to the State Institution) before loss to the National Cultural Heritage and that all without exception shall have free access to such digitized images.
