Re: Licensing fee for film



You might want to contact Chicago Historical Society.  They have an
extensive (4 page) statement that details reproduction and use fees.  It is
quite involved and depends on both the original format of the materials
being requested, the status (profit, non-profit) of the requesting party,
and intended use.  A URL to get you started is
http://www.chicagohs.org/prints.html.  You need to get to their "Rights and
Reproductions" person.

Subject: Licensing fee for film


Two months ago a fairly large documentary film collection
(including all rights) was donated to us. A national cable network
wants to use some of the footage for a sports documentary they
wish to air. Since this is an entirely new situation for us, I am not
quite sure what to charge for a licensing fee. I need to come up
with a reproduction rights policy including a licensing fee
PRONTO. Does $50 per second seem prohibitive? Does anyone
know what other institutions that have moving image collections
charge? Any advice would really be appreciated.
