Conference: Primary Sources on Copyright, 1450-1900

On October 16-17, CREATe, the copyright law research center at the University of Glasgow, will host a conference “celebrating 15 years of the edited digital archive ‘Primary Sources on Copyright, 1450-1900,’ ed. Lionel Bently and Martin Kretschmer.  The archive now covers material for 10 jurisdictions, each section curated by a national copyright history expert. The conference is hybrid, allowing for online attendance.” 

The full programme for the Glasgow conference this October is [here], but it comprises two key elements. First, a number of national editors will present their new material for the digital archive. Patricia Akester (GPI-IPO) and Victor Drummond (Universidade Gama Filho) will launch their section covering Portugal and Brazil, Marius Buning (University of Oslo), Magne Klasson  (University of Oslo) and Martin Fredriksson (Linköping University) will speak about the forthcoming Scandinavian section, and further material for three existing sections – the Vatican, France and German speaking countries – will be presented by Jane Ginsburg (Columbia Law School), Katie Scott (The Courtauld), Frédéric Rideau (Université de Poitiers) and Friedemann Kawohl (CREATe Fellow). These talks are open to all scholars, including research students, of any discipline or jurisdiction and can be attended in person or online. If you would like to attend, in person or online, please email diane.mcgrattan@glasgow.ac.uk.
