As you all know by now, one of the biggest problems we face on the
Professor's web site is the issue of copyright. It limits us to publication
dates
before 1923, and this cuts out a tremendous amount of information which would
be
useful to us all.
The only way we can overcome this is to ask people who have written articles
and books to be willing to share their work as a generous service to the world
of lacemaking. I know that in many cases, the articles people have written
now belong to the publications they wrote for, but it might be possible to ask
these publishers to permit the material to go onto the site as a worldwide
public service.
I hope that you will think about this and see if you can help us.

Are you willing to contribute your writings to the website?
Brian Lemin has set a marvelous example by allowing his material on bobbins
to be placed on the website.
I hope that others who have written works on topics related to the website,
but which which no longer have significant commercial value, will follow his
example.
Perhaps you've written a monograph or published an article in a lace
or weaving magazine. By making it available on the web, you can assure
that it will have a lasting place in the literature and a huge audience.
Depending on who owns the copyright and on the conditions of publication,
you may be able to give permission yourself or you may need to get
approval from the publisher.
