COPYRIGHT NOTICE
The copyright, rights in the nature of copyright and all other intellectual
property rights worldwide in the photographic images on this website are
reserved to The National Library and Archives of Bhutan.
VIEWING OF IMAGES
The images may be viewed without payment or further permission, on the
understanding that they have been made available by the copyright holder
for purposes of private study only.
COPYING OF IMAGES FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY
An image may be downloaded to the user's workstation and stored and one
hard copy only may be made, without payment or further permission, provided
this is done solely for purposes of private study. Every copy, in electronic
or other form, MUST include the copyright notice and reference as found
at the edge(s) of each image. The image may not be duplicated in any medium
for another person or institution. The user is welcome to show the single
personal copy to a colleague or colleagues for private discussion, though
in electronic form it may be displayed only on the screen of the user's
single workstation. The user is also permitted to display the single personal
copy for purposes of an academic lecture or seminar, provided that no further
duplication occurs or is allowed to occur. If the image is required for
separate viewing elsewhere, the colleague(s) or student(s) should be referred
back to this server, from which it can be viewed and downloaded afresh by
each individual user: this will avoid illicit copying from one workstation
to another.
The URL for an image, but not the image itself, may be incorporated in
a user's personal hypertext document. The purpose of any restriction on
the use of these images is to ensure that image files are always downloaded
direct from the server and not from an unauthorized duplicate server elsewhere.
Users should be aware that an image received from this server has necessarily
been compressed before transmission and will therefore have lost some detail.
This loss may not be significant for most research and publication purposes,
but may assume significance in particularly demanding applications, for
example in the production of a full-sized colour facsimile. In such cases
it may be possible for the copyright holder to supply the uncompressed file
from which the public version was made. The uncompressed file is too large
for convenient and reliable transmission over the network, but could be
supplied to the user on, for example, a CD-ROM.
OTHER USES OF THE IMAGES
Any other use requires the specific written permission of the copyright
holder, who reserves the right to charge a fee. Uses requiring such permission
include the following:
Publication in any form of hard copy.
Use in television, film or video.
Publication in any electronic form of an image, whether modified or not.
Duplication of an image in any networked or public site, or in any "virtual
library".
Public display in any form of electronic or hard copy (except in academic
lectures as indicated above).
Duplication for use in any teaching pack.
Applications for permissions of any kind, enquiries concerning copyright
or fees, and requests for traditional types of hard-copy photography, should
be addressed to:
The Director National Archives, National Library& Archives of Bhutan,
PO Box , Thimphu Bhutan
E-mail address:
Any communication by e-mail should include the enquirer's full postal address:
replies will normally be sent by (airmail) post within two weeks of receipt.
Demands for immediate response by telephone, fax or e-mail cannot receive
priority treatment.
