Copyright research

We have an ongoing programme of copyright research, in collaboration with a variety of other organisations. This is to ensure that the rights information on works in our Primary and Reference collections, maintained on our copyright database in the Picture Library, is accurate and up-to-date.

You may be able to help us. Despite our efforts to trace information on artists and photographers, or their descendants and legatees, the copyright status and ownership of certain works in our collection is still unclear. We would welcome any information which you believe might be helpful in this respect.

Please direct this information to our Copyright Officer, Bernard Horrocks: bhorrocks@npg.org.uk
We are particularly interested in contacting the following artists, or their heirs and descendants:
