Here's the good news:It’s becoming much easier to

access, share and reuse New Zealand’s cultural heritage

This means you can't predict who will do exciting things with your work

However, the legal barriers to dissemination & reuse remain.

Copyright is very restrictive. Automatic.Applies online.No 'c' required.Lasts for 50 years after death.

This gets in the way of the free distribution and reuse of our common cultural heritage

For heritage institutions, it leads to usage rights statements that are often vague, overly restrictive & not standardised across the sector

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.

First:Clearly mark out-of-copyright

works as such.

Second:Use Creative Commons licensing

for works with CC-friendly donors

Third:Works for which institution holds

copyright: use CC licensing

Creative Commons licences allow you to give permission for others to share and reuse your work

Here's the pitch:CC licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and let you keep your copyright.
