OPEN ACCESS POLICY

• We aim to make our collection publicly available online

• When IPR has expired, we explicitly mark the material as being part of the Public Domain

• When the institution owns IPR, we make the material available under an open license

• When third party rights holders (partly) own IPR, we aim to obtain permission to make the material available online on their behalf
