ORIGINAL CLIPPINGS - Press Reports

[BooksbyBJThompson]

Hi All

Does casebook have the original clippings
of the Ripper press articles? (Not just the typed out versions.)

And if so, are they not by now copyright free?
In the Public Domain?

On Jack the Ripper 1888 site, it says thus:

"Copyright Notice
The original images on this page are the copyright of the British Library Board. All Rights Reserved.
The cuttings are the copyright of Richard Jones. All Rights Reserved"

If someone could assist me on this, many thanks, as I truly would like to use the original clippings.

The only original clippings are ones provided by posters and uploaded via posts into threads. There is no database of actual clippings.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Thanks, Tom.

I know the Echo articles were transcribed from microfiche as I bought the films after they were used.

We’d be sent a link to the clippings Spry had stored on a server and type them up. The section I worked on was the Evening News. I’ve asked if the original clippings are still kept somewhere. This was 20 years ago…

Seems odd the original clippings wouldn't be on casebook. Everything else is.

It was an all volunteer effort to give us what we’ve got. Be thankful for that.

Oh, no. I didn't mean to disparage casebook and its staff. Far from it. I meant it's odd only because this org has literally everything, which is remarkable.

I am truly grateful for this site, JM.
Please do not think itherwise.

Thanks
I’m checking into the whereabouts of the original clippings we used.
Stay tuned.
