8 <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Archivists</strong>Comments on Orphan WorksRequiring repositories to conduct an automated search <strong>of</strong> a registry <strong>of</strong> rights owners wouldstill impose costs on an archives for cases <strong>of</strong> materials created with commercial intent. Weare cautiously optimistic, however, that they would be low enough that repositories wouldbe more willing to make our unpublished heritage available online. In consequence,copyright law would no longer impede but instead foster historical research.Sincerely,Jackie M.
