Documents and sound recordings featured on the SADDA website must be used ethically; avoiding illegal sharing, misquotation, misappropriation or decontextualization. In addition, by using material featured on the SADDA website, users acknowledge that all documents and sound recordings are governed by the SADDA website’s Take-down Policy.

If the Second Air Division Memorial Library or Norfolk Record Office receives a request to use a document or sound recording for a different purpose, they may be able to advise how rights can be cleared.

The Second Air Division Memorial Library and the Norfolk Record Office acknowledge the intellectual property rights of those named as contributors to the documents and sound recordings on the SADDA website and the rights of those not identified. The Second Air Division Memorial Library and the Norfolk Record Office have attempted to the best of their ability to identify and contact all rights holders in documents and sound recordings featured on the SADDA website and have sought permission to include documents and sound recordings on the website for personal use only.

The archive has been created over several decades and contains documents which have been donated or deposited by many different individuals, many of whom cannot be contacted or traced. Furthermore, some of the records may have originated from third party institutions which are not identified in the documents. The Norfolk Record Office and the Second Air Division Memorial Library have tried their best to identify and contact all rights holders but acknowledge, because of the reasons listed above, that they may have misidentified a document’s creator or have been unable to trace the appropriate rights holder. Any new information about a document’s provenance will be added, when appropriate, to the catalogue of the Second Air Division Memorial Library archive.

Please note that high quality images will only be supplied by the Second Air Division Memorial Library / Norfolk Record Office if copyright legislation is not contravened.
