The Clarke Historical Library works to ensure that it has appropriate rights to provide access to content through its digital collections; these materials are made available for educational and scholarly use.

If you are a rights holder and are concerned that you have found material in the Clarke Historical Library’s digital collections without your permission and believe our inclusion of this material in the digital collections violates your rights (e.g. inclusion is not covered by the Fair Use or other exemption to a copyright holder’s rights), please contact clarke@cmich.edu and include the following information:

• Your contact information including email address and phone number.
• Exact URL where you found the material.
• Details that describe the material such as title, collection name, number of items, etc.
• The reason why you believe that your rights have been violated and any pertinent documentation.
• A statement indicating that the information in your notification is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
• A statement indicating that you, in good faith, believe that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

Upon receipt of a request, Clarke Historical Library staff will promptly acknowledge the request via email or other means of communication if you do not have an email account, and assess the validity of the request.

Upon request, we may temporarily remove the material from public view while we assess the concern.

Upon completion of the assessment, we will take appropriate action and communicate that action to you.
