European memory institutions are repositories of a wealth of rare
documents that record public domain content. These documents are
often stored in 'dark-archives' to which members of the public are
granted limited access, resulting in the public domain content
recorded therein being relegated to a form of
'forgotten-knowledge'. Digitisation offers a means by which such
public domain content can be made speedily and easily accessible to
users around the world. For this reason, it has been hailed as the
harbinger of a new 'digital renaissance'. This book examines the
topical issue of the need to preserve exclusivity over digitised
versions of rare documents recording public domain content. Based
on data gathered through an empirical survey of digitisation
projects undertaken by fourteen memory institutions in five
European Union Member States, it argues for the introduction of
exclusive rights in digitised versions of rare documents recording
public domain textual content as a means of incentivising
private-sector investment in the digitisation process. It concludes
by presenting a detailed proposal for a European Union Regulation
that would grant memory institutions a limited-term related right
in digitised versions of rare documents held in their collections
subject to stringent exceptions and limitations that are designed
to safeguard user interests.
