As a contribution to education and personal scholarship, the Winter Park Public Library maintains a Winter Park History and Archives Collection.  Some materials in these collections may be protected by the U. S. Copyright Law (Title 17, U. S. C.).  Additionally, the reproduction of some materials may be restricted by terms of the library's gift or purchase agreements, donor restrictions, privacy and publicity rights, licensing, and trademarks.

Transmission or reproduction of protected items beyond that allowed by Fair Use copyright law requires the written permission of the copyright owners.

Copyright or other information about restrictions may be difficult or even impossible to determine due to the nature of historical archival collections.  Whenever possible, the library provides information about copyright owners and other restrictions concerning its collections.

However, it is the user/patron's obligation to determine and satisfy copyright or other use restrictions when publishing or otherwise distributing materials found in the Library's collections.  Also, the responsibility for making an independent legal assessment of an item and securing any necessary permissions rests with user/patrons desiring to use the item.
