Copyright

Apparently some American groups are not recognizing British copyright and have been buying indexes or other publications and publishing them on the Internet without permission. Some of the societies involved have complained to these unauthorized users with variable success. In the future, any member society taking part in suspect activity may be asked to resign from the FFHS.

If you find any S&DFHS material being misused in such a way, please contact the Society.
