N2 - This working paper presents an edited transcript of a public lecture delivered at CREATe, University of Glasgow, on 16 October 2023, celebrating fifteen years of the digital archive Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900) edited by Lionel Bently and Martin Kretschmer. The archive charts the history of copyright from the advent of the printing press to 1900, through the selection, digitisation and analysis of primary source material by an ever-growing team of ‘national editors’. When launched in 2008, the archive contained five sections (UK/Britain, France, Italy, German speaking countries, US). It has since expanded, through the addition of new sections (Spain, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, the Vatican, Jewish legal sources, Portugal and Brazil) and as well as further material for two original sections (UK and France). As Primary Sources on Copyright continues to expand – new Scottish material for the UK section is anticipated in 2024-25 – a panel of eleven national editors met in Glasgow in October 2023, publicly to debate questions posed by Bently and Kretschmer, about the archive’s future.
