I'm with Cheryl on this one. It has taken the library too long to up and say something. Why have they not said anything before now.

Hi Beverley, As one who has benefited hugely from your efforts, please don't just give up. What you've done with your transcripts is to provide a genealogical resource that is not just a Christchurch-wide facility, but New Zealand-wide, in fact a world-wide resource. Please do find out from the library why they said what they said, and who does have the intellectual property (IP) rights. If there is someway as a membership list of this forum we can "protest" or approach the IP owner en masse, count me in!
