    1. [AUS-SAGEN] Publishing family stories
    2. Christine Cook
    3. Hi all! I am helping with the publishing of a book of local people's memories of the "old days" recorded by students at the Secondary College. We are wondering what our obligations are with obtaining permission to publish these stories. Many have given verbal permission, some have since died. Do we need permission of the teller of the story, their family or their guardian/power of attorney or just the permission of the student who wrote it? If the student is under 18 do their parents need to give permission? Should we include a disclaimer that the information is how events were remembered and not necessarily historically accurate? Is there anything else we would be aware of or take into consideration? Chris where it's to be 43 today!
