Copyright for Conservators

1)  Very quick overview of Intellectual Property Rights (as Conservators are typically used to dealing with 'physical' objects)

2)  Very quick overview of copyright - what it is, what it protects, how long it lasts, what rights you get, the exceptions etc

3)  Moral rights of artists / estates, relating to integrity of their work

4)  The 'preservation' exception, and how this can help conservators

5)  Copyright in publishing conservation research and associated images
