Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage
The Project on Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage is an international collaboration of archaeologists, indigenous organizations, lawyers, anthropologists, ethicists, policy makers, and others working to explore and facilitate fair and equitable exchanges of knowledge relating to archaeology.
We are concerned with the theoretical, ethical, and practical implications of commodification, appropriation, and other flows of knowledge about the past, and with how these may affect communities, researchers, and other stakeholders.
This project represents an international, interdisciplinary collaboration among more than 50 scholars and 25 partnering organizations embarking on an unprecedented and timely investigation of intellectual property (IP) issues in cultural heritage that represent emergent local and global interpretations of culture, rights, and knowledge.
Our objectives are:
to document the diversity of principles, interpretations, and actions arising in response to IP issues in cultural heritage worldwide;
to analyze the many implications of these situations;
to generate more robust theoretical understandings as well as norms of best practices; and
to make these findings available to stakeholders—from Aboriginal communities to professional organizations to government agencies—to develop and refine their own theories, principles, policies and practices.
