Copyright
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions, as well as many other uses, of copyrighted materials. Many works in the collections of the Hoover Institution Library & Archives are protected by copyright. Under certain specific provisions of the U.S. copyright law, the Library & Archives may make and provide researchers with copies of works from the collections. These copies are for private research and study only. For more information about copyright and fair use, please visit the US Copyright Office and Stanford University Libraries
Use Of Copies
Whether the Hoover Institution Library & Archives supplies the copy of a work – or a researcher makes the copy – researchers, publishers, and other users of any work from the Library & Archives collections are responsible for compliance with copyright law. Copyright compliance may include determining whether a work is copyrighted, identifying the copyright owner, evaluating fair use, and securing permission when needed. The professional staff of the Hoover Institution Library & Archives may help identify some works in the collection where the copyright is held by Hoover or Stanford University.

- contact information for you, including your address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law;
- a statement by you, signed under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you have the authority to enforce the copyrights that are claimed to be infringed; and
- a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf.
