Subject: [Cz-L] Use of photos

Dear Czernowitzers,

Because I was eager to make sure that Natalya Shevchenko
would feel free to use the photographs on the "ehpes" website
for the exhibition in the Jewish museum, but because I thought
that some of us who had originally contributed this material
might not be happy if it was used for publication in
a printed format, I wrote Natalya, that she should feel free
to use this material for the exhibit, but not for publication
in printed format.

I have received an answer, in which Natalya Shevchenko writes:

------------------------------------------------------
it appears that I was mistaken in my understanding
of the restrictions with respect to use of your electronic archive
and have taken an unwarranted liberty as a result.

Here is the crux of the matter.

In connection with our city?s 600th anniversary,
a large commemorative album with
photographs from the 20th century of all kinds of residents
of Czernovtsi is being assembled. Of particular value
in this project are family and genre photographs. I had
been asked to approach you for permission to use photographs
 from your site in the album. I do not know exactly
which photographs would be included, but a blanket form
of permission to print any photographs on these sites was sought.
And not having thoroughly understood the details of your letter,
I granted them permission to use the photographs from the site.
Now I realize that I have made a mistake inasmuch as your letter
mentions only use in the museum. If I understand correctly,
you give permission to use the photographs for museum expositions
or exhibits only.

To be perfectly frank, it?s a pity. It?s a pity that we cannot
print some photographs from this site in the album.
I personally have contributed several photographs from
our family archive, although nobody has guaranteed
that they will end up in the final version of the commemorative album.
It is a massive project with materials contributed
 from all ends of the world. And it would truly be a pity
if America and your generation were not represented in this group
portrait of the city.
---------------------------------------

I do not know how everyone who has contributed photographs
to the "ehpes" website, feels about this. Nor do I know
what our legal rights in this respect are.
If there is a lawyer in this list, please advise us.

Personally, I would NOT like the photographs, I contributed,
to be included in such an album.

I have as yet not answered Mrs. Shevchenko.
Please write me, if you want me to include your reaction in my letter.

Mimi
