Supporting Stories: Legal Guidance for Oral History Projects

Oral histories are some of the most direct, experience-based components of culture, and each project has unique challenges and legal considerations.  Is there an approach that can use the law to serve the project?  Organized to cohere with the Oral History Association's "Statement of Ethics," this session will cover not only issues like image release, copyright, and project ownership, but also the legal considerations at each phase of project development: concept building, interview methods, grant application and contracts, partnership and collaboration agreements, insurance and employment/independent contractor issues. Your questions are welcome!

Location is Schenectady County Public Library, Central Library, 99 Clinton St, Schenectady NY
