Repository: Berea College Special Collections and Archives Catalog
Access Restrictions: The collection can be accessed through the Reading Room, Berea College Special Collections and Archives, Hutchins Library, Berea College. Some portions of the collection are restricted from research use. Those materials are marked in the inventory.
Use Restrictions:
The Donors retain all copyrights and intellectual property rights pertaining to the Materials for a period not to exceed 30 years. The donors grant to the College permission to use the materials for research or non-commercial purposes. Any commercial use must have the permission of the donors. On or before January 1, 2047, all copyrights and intellectual property rights pertaining to the materials will transfer to the college as an integral part of this gift.
This collection includes materials that were created as “work for hire” and copyright for those materials may be held by other entities.
Copies made for commercial broadcast or publication require the permission of the donor until January 1, 2047. After that time, they will require the permission of the Berea College Special Collections and Archives.
In addition, Michael and Carrie Nobel Kline worked to validate and dignify the voices of those they documented. The spoken testimonials from southern mountain people historically have little overlap with most written accounts about them by missionaries, sociologists, regional planners and feature writers, whose stereotyping and assumptions often work against progressive human development in the region. In contrast, the material in this collection is meant to be used to affirm the diverse experiences of all who are documented within it.
Utilization of the materials from the Collection require careful consideration and respect towards all the people whose voices and images may be used. Commercial users must make a good faith effort to contact the interviewee for permission to use their recorded voices and images before including them in any production or written materials.
