* As provided in the Archives Descriptive Database or Visual Database

Researchers are responsible for maintaining complete and accurate citations of all items that are intended for use. Requests for permission to publish that are received without this information will not be processed.

The Archives can respond to requests only for original materials in our collection. When the Archives does not hold the original materials to which copyright applies, and the researcher wishes to publish, the researcher must seek permission to do so from the organization/person where the original material is held.

We do not administer Crown Copyright for other crown jurisdictions (e.g., Federal or from other Provinces). In those cases, you must go directly to the source. 

The Archives’ staff will assist you with this as much as available resources allow, but they can not always determine who holds copyright. When the copyright holder is not clearly known or locatable, the researcher is responsible for determining who holds copyright and for locating the copyright owner.

For more information regarding Copyright please consult the Archives of Ontario Public Policy on Copyright and Terms of Use for Archival Materials

Note: Permission requests are for one time use only. If you wish to re-issue, re-broadcast or re-publish, please submit another request form.

See below to add additional items.
