Welcome to this online resource for Intellectual Property rights for those who work on documenting and archiving the performing arts. This website was created for a workshop Documentation and archiving the performing arts :Issues of Intellectual Property Rights and Intangible Cultural Heritage organised by the Archives and Research Centre for Ethnomusicology of the American Institute of Indian Studies, and supported by the Ford Foundation (See the Workshop Report section for more details).
This website is our commitment to carrying on the work achieved over the week long workshop and sharing it with a wider public in the long term and creating a permanent resource. This website aggregates information on issues faced by all of us who work with intangible cultural heritage– be it in music, theatre or other forms of cultural expression.We have brought together a range of useful articles and resources that highlight best practice models in areas of Research and Documentation, the Music Industry, Indian Copyright Law and Alternate Copyright models, as well as discussions on individual and community rights.
We have included in the FORMS section a set of “best practices" documents, which came out of our 5-day workshop. These forms can be used as a template by organizations or individuals dealing with the complex legal, moral and ethical issues of Intellectual property rights.
If you have any feedback, want to post an article, or join the discussion board please contact us at
