From the Preface:

From 2004 to 2008, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and the Copenhagen Polychromy Network (CPN) carried out a Pilot Project in the museum’s collection of Greek and Roman sculpture. In June 2008 we started the so-called Main Project which will run until 2011. The first phase of visual examination began in January 2009 and lasted until this summer. Some provisional results of these activities are published in this first Preliminary Report. The Report also contains an introduction to the CPN and outlines of both the Pilot Project and the Main Project. The protocol followed in visual examination and documentation is not the subject of a separate article, but is presented instead as applied in practise. [...]

Abstract:

Digital communications technologies have led to fundamental changes in the ways that cultural institutions fulfil their public missions of access, preservation, research, and education. Institutions are developing publicly-accessible websites in which users can visit online exhibitions, search collection databases, access images of collection items, and in some cases create their own digital content. Digitization, however, also raises the possibility of copyright infringement. “Copyright and Digitization” aims to assist understanding and compliance with copyright law across libraries, archives, and museums. It discusses the exclusive rights of the copyright owner, the major exemptions used by cultural heritage institutions, and stresses the importance of “risk assessment” when conducting any digitization project. It also includes two cases studies, examining digitizing oral histories and student work. As well as free availability here, print copies are available for purchase via createspace.
