Copyright Statements
We use and advocate for standardized rights statements in Digital Collections. A rights statement is used to communicate the copyright rights status of an item in digital collections to the user/viewer. The rights statements in this document come from the established rightsstatements.org statements and are applied using our rights matrix.
