Can your programs be included online on SoundTheology.org?

1. Musical programs will not appear online unless copyright-cleared. Those programs will still be digitized, returned to you with digital audio files, and included in the GCAH archive collection.

2. Speech recordings of locally-sponsored events prior to February 15, 1972 are usually the property of the school or organization and not a copyright issue.

3. Voice recordings after February 14, 1972 will be considered individually for concerns. Most of those we process are “works for hire” or participants in a school-sponsored or organization-sponsored program and are appropriate to put online.
