Copyright and the Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné

The Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné is Copyright © 2024 Claas van der Linde. It is not to be reproduced, adapted, transmitted, or distributed, as a whole or in part, without prior written permission by Claas van der Linde. Including the Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné or any part of it on any website or elsewhere is expressly prohibited.

The Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné is a non-commercial effort which strives to be scholarly and educative. It's purpose is to educate about the legacy of the Herreshoffs and the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. In doing so, I hope to also improve the chances of surviving Herreshoff vessels to be appreciated and cared for and, thus, to survive further into the future.

The copyright for reprinted text or images clearly remains with the original author or publisher unless specifically noted to the contrary or in cases where text or images have already passed into the public domain (see the table below for when material passes into the public domain). This is especially true with respect to drawings and archival documents. You are free to view and inspect them, but the rights to them reside with their original collections and any requests for rights clearances or high-res images, whether for building or publishing or anything else, will have to be negotiated with the collection's owner. Any accompanying comments which have been set in square brackets are by Claas van der Linde and are copyrighted by him, even if they are included in text that is copyrighted by another party.

The Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné is made available solely for your individual research, education, and criticism. Text in the Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné often consists of small excerpts from larger documents, many of which are already in the public domain. These snippets have been collected from many different sources and assembled in such a way as to document the nature and history of specific vessels built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. As such, I believe, they are subject to the fair use doctrin of copyright law, allowing me to reproduce even copyrighted material in this form. I have made every effort to properly cite the sources of text and images. Likewise, I have made every effort to identify their copyright holders (if any) and, in the case of valid restrictions, have obtained permission (which I gratefully acknowledge on a case-by-case basis) or have only cited their sources and not included the actual content.

1 Term of joint works is measured by life of the longest-lived author. 2 Works for hire, anonymous and pseudonymous works also have this term. 17 U.S.C. § 302(c). 3 Under the 1909 Act, works published without notice went into the public domain upon publication. Works published without notice between January 1, 1978 and March 1, 1989, effective date of the Berne Convention Implementation Act, retained copyright only if, e.g., registration was made within five years. 17 U.S.C. § 405.
