ADB Online Copyright Notice

The Australian National University (ANU), through its Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB), encourages public access to biographical information and provides online access to the ADB via an online relational database (the ADB Online). However, all material published on this website is protected by the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 (C'th) ("the Act").

Apart from any use permitted by the Act, the ANU grants users of this site a licence to print, download, copy and paste text and search results into other web-based documents and link particular articles within the ADB Online to a user's website, for non-commercial purposes only.

For permission to reproduce or use information on this website beyond this limited licence or to republish generally, application must be made to the General Editor of the ADB, as identified on this website.

The ADB Online also includes a number of images that originate from the PictureAustralia service. These images may only be reproduced for research and study purposes and must not be used for commercial purposes or communicated to the public in any way (i.e. reproduction on a website). If you wish to use these images for any purpose that is not authorised under this notice you will need to seek the express permission of the copyright owner. For more information about these images and how to obtain the relevant permissions please refer to the `Image Details' under the relevant images on this website, or consult the copyright notice on the PictureAustralia website.

The moral rights of the authors of online ADB articles must be respected, therefore any text that is copied from the website must be fully identified as an author's work and must not be altered in any way. The minimum elements of identification must be: name of author (please see the foot of the article); name of article; source (i.e. Australian Dictionary of Biography Online); year; and Universal Resource Locator (URL) of article. For example, E. J. R. Morgan, `Angas, George French (1822-1886)', Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, 2006, URL as shown on the article's page.

Each online ADB article is separately citable. This facility enables operators of other websites to create links to individual articles by listing their URLs. Each of these links must clearly indicate that the page to which it gives access is from the ADB Online and fully acknowledge the identity of the author of each article linked.
