A photographic reproduction must comply with the laws and particularly with the legislation on authors’ rights. It is your responsibility to clarify the copyright and distribution rights of the reproduced document.

Each publication of a document belonging to our collections must be marked “Bibliothèque nationale du Luxembourg” and a supporting copy must be deposited.

The BnL does not hold the rights and therefore cannot grant permission. You must verify whether their intended use is permitted under legal exceptions. If no exception applies, you must obtain the necessary rights from the rights holders.

Rights clearance is not a service offered by the BnL.

Responsibility lies with you when they wish to use a text or image beyond legal exceptions.

Copyright forms part of literary and artistic property, which itself falls under intellectual property.

It includes:

• Economic rights: the right to reproduce, distribute and exploit the work
• Moral rights: the right to be credited and to respect for the integrity of the work

The author automatically holds these rights from the moment the work is created, without registration. Rights may be transferred to heirs and assigned to third parties (publishers, collective management organisations, etc.).
