Copyright and legal restrictions
PUBLIC DOMAIN: A Work belonging to the public domain is offered as far as possible in high quality and downloadable. In this case, you may copy, share and edit the Work or the media file (scan, photo, video or audio recording), even for commercial purposes.
CC 0: If the institution itself is the copyright holder of a Work (e.g. because the copyright was transferred to the institution by the author), we release the Work under a CC 0 licence. This means that you may download, copy, share and edit the Work or media file, even for commercial purposes. When adapting or referring to the Work, you may not indicate that this implies approval by the author or rights holder.
The descriptions and metadata of all Works on the website are also released under a CC 0 licence.
COPYRIGHT: Our collections also include Works that are still in copyright, or where there is copyright on the media file, even if the Work itself is in the public domain.
We always try to obtain a licence from the rights holders so that we can at least publish the Work on our website, but this is not always possible. Therefore, there are 2 ways in which we publish Works and media files in copyright on the website:
1.           Not visible: We have no licence or permission to display the Work or media file. You can only view and download data about the Work.
2.           Visible, low resolution: We have a licence with the rights holders or with a management company to use the Work or media file on our own channels. You may not copy or use the Work or media file in any way without permission from the rights holders. If you wish to use the Work please contact damsbeheerder@antwerpen.be or Unisono for more information.
OTHER LEGAL RESTRICTIONS: In addition to copyright, there are other legal restrictions such as neighbouring rights, portrait rights, privacy laws or contractual agreements that may stipulate that a Work is not shown or is only shown in low resolution.
EXCEPTIONS: Would you like to request a Work from our collections that is not downloadable for private, educational or research purposes? Please contact damsbeheerder@antwerpen.be or the managing institution.
We aim to determine the rights status of Works and photographs or recordings as completely and accurately as possible. If you notice an inaccuracy or believe you have a copyright claim to any Work or media file on this website, we would be pleased to hear from you at damsbeheerder@antwerpen.be.
 
Source reference
When using a Work, a media file or data that you have downloaded from our website, we kindly ask you to add the minimum name or source attribution found on the Rights page.
If used in a publication, the managing institution will gladly receive a copy for its archive or library.
