<font face="Corbel">The potential situation for record offices is
more complex than just GDPR.<br>
Copyright protection is also a powerful factor, especially if the
Bristol United Ringing Guild or its legal successor still exists.
Copyright expiry of material created by a legal entity is
different to that of works created by individuals such as authors
and artists.<br>
My county record office would not let us (a local historical
society) reproduce a survey of this town made in 1827 until we
could establish who owned the copyright in it, and then got
permission from them to use the survey.<br>
There may also be restrictive terms under which an item has been
deposited with a record office.<br>
<br>
Best wishes, Lawrence<br>

of local material, and maybe the county record office
- though they <br>
might not allow access because of the names and
possibly addresses in it.

<div dir="auto">I'm following on digest so apologies if the
discussion has moved on, but I don't see any reason why a 1935
(i.e. 90 year old) publication listing people who were then
adults wouldn't be available: GDPR only applies to the living,
and I suspect that current Bristol ringers would know of, and
celebrate, any ringers who were 105 or more and still with us.</div>
