Biodiversity Heritage Library Permission ProcessWorking with non-profit publishers for sharing with the BHL
To digitize and mount works under copyright BHL must obtain permission from the copyright holders.
Many biodiversity journals and monographs are published by non-profit institutions or learned societies whose mission is to promote research and learning.
Some of these institutions have not sold their rights to commercial publishers and are open to sharing with the BHL.
