For the past few years, I've run a list about the late 60's play (and later movie) "Hair". Over time, the list grew and shrank as different theater groups performed and discussed the play. The past year or so has shown a steady decline in membership and participation, and we're now at the stage of the few remaining posts being of the "where did everyone go?" variety. It's sad, but it happens eventually.
Anyway, I've decided to close down the list. The question arises what to do with 6-odd years of list archives. For someone putting on the play Hair, these are a fairly valuable resource - posts from the original cast, posts from people in touch with the authors, the original producer, and so on. My question is, does anyone have any pointers to legal references as to what I am permitted to do with these archives? I did some research and the magic phrase "compilation copyright" came up, but if someone here has already dealt with a similar situation, I'd really appreciate any information you have. Thanks, David
