Sharing and Publishing Wills (General)

I completed the order form for the Gloucestershire County Council Archives. (The good news is that the fax didn't go through, so if I should be ordering the wills from elsewhere I will wait and do that.)

The wills in question are dated from 1845 - 1933, with the decedents all residing in Blakeney/Blakeney Woodside.

The language included in the form is:

declare that:
(a) I have not been supplied with a copy of the same material by you or any other librarian or archivist.
(b) I will not use the copy except for my personal research or private study and will not supply a copy of it to any other person, persons or organisation.
(c) (For published works only) to the best of my knowledge the work had not been published before the document was deposited in your archive and the copyright owner has not prohibited copying of the work.
(d) (For published works only) to the best of my knowledge no other person with whom I work or study has made or intends to make, at or about the same time as this request, a request for substantially the same material for substantially the same purpose.I understand that if the declaration is false in a material particular the copy supplied to me by you will be an infringing copy and that I shall be liable for infringement of copyright as if I had made the copy myself.


I understand this prohibits me from sharing it with others, however, I had thought to apply for a waiver once I received the wills. If there is another avenue I should explore I am open to it.
