Use Of Copies

Whether the Hoover Institution Library & Archives supplies the copy of a work – or a researcher makes the copy – researchers, publishers, and other users of any work from the Library & Archives collections are responsible for compliance with copyright law. Copyright compliance may include determining whether a work is copyrighted, identifying the copyright owner, evaluating fair use, and securing permission when needed. The professional staff of the Hoover Institution Library & Archives may help identify some works in the collection where the copyright is held by Hoover or Stanford University.

  • contact information for you, including your address, telephone number, and email address;
  • a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law;

  • a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf.

Failure to include all of the above-listed information may result in a delay of the processing of your complaint. Stanford will terminate the online privileges of users who infringe the copyright of others.
