Provision of Crown copyright public records PRO document 15 5.5 page 6 0f 19
5.5 The Government announced in the 1999 White Paper The Future Management of Crown copyright (Cm4300) that Crown copyright will in future be waived in most public records held in the Public Record Office, the National Archives of Scotland, the Public Record office of Northern Ireland, places of deposit of public records appointed under the Public Records Act 1958 and any Welsh national archive that may be established by the National Assembly for Wales. This means that
5.5.1 Crown copyright will continue to subsist in public records, but will not be enforced in public records that are available to the public and that were unpublished, or contain material that was unpublished, at the time of when they were deposited. Users are free to copy, index, transcribe, publish and broadcast such Crown copyright material without formal permission, payment of a copyright fee or acknowledgement of copyright. The appropriate record office's custody of the original documents must nevertheless still be acknowledged, and the archived document reference given.
Material transcribed in the Kelsall Census material 1841 - 1891 are held on microfilm at the Family Records Centre, London.
The appropriate Microfilm reference for each Census is given on each transcription.
