This issue of Research Library Issues (no 279) from the Association of Research Libraries, is focused on legal concerns and evolving professional practices around digitizing special collections and archival materials. The issue also includes a model digitization contract for use with outside vendors, as well as model "deeds of gift" that can secure permission from rights holders to make donated material accessible on the web.
