Permissions
According to the New Zealand Copyright Act (1994), a published work is in copyright up to fifty years after the author's death. However, if the work is first published posthumously, the term extends to fifty years after first publication. If you would like to reproduce an extract from a published work that is under copyright, you will need to seek permission from the original publisher before you proceed.
Please place your request as early as possible. We need time to research and perhaps refer you elsewhere since we do not always control rights to the material you want.
