Since you can take pretty much everything out (8 items at a time for
10 weeks) this may be inconvenient (if they don't let you photograph
in place) but no worse than inconvenient. I haven't tried copying in
the library itself personally.
/you/ can... ;-)
I know in US law a reproduction that attempts to be faithful to the
original is ineligible for new copyright but I have a feeling that
this is different in UK law.
It is.
This was a discussion I was planning to have post elections. But in
summery the bigger something is the more problematical there copying
policies are for individuals and using third party copying services
tends to be expensive and problematical (I have a lovely set of emails
somewhere from a librarian totally failing to get CC-BY-SA). Getting
something out of your local records office may be fairly easy, take
along a camera and they may not complain too much. Getting stuff out
of the imperial war museum collection on the other hand is more of a
challenge.
