<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Copyright was an issue from many of the papers. They would not give us permission to scan them and put them up on the Internet. I
see their point. When you scan them and 'publish' them that is seen as crossing a line. Clipping them and having them in the library is a much lesser thing than putting them online. (we think they were looking at how to get people to come to their websites
instead - more visitors means more advertisers . . . ?) We are not sure.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Even if the paper is no longer publishing, somebody, owns the rights (a parent company, descendants of the owner, etc.) Ask a copyright
expert, or get permission in writing - save the paperwork that you 'did due diligence' to ask permission of the correct rights holder.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">We could not get the rights and it killed the project. It is a big grey area, even if you are not doing it for a profit, it is important.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
