Does anyone know what is happening to the Archives of the papers that have closed? There is a lot of history that needs to be looked after.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Assuming you transfered all the rights to the paper when you supplied the image to the paper and was paid, in theory the rights transfer to whoever purchased the assets of the paper. Whether they choose to retain the files or negatives is up to them. If your agreement included shared rights, then you still retain those rights. If your agreement was for one time use, then you still retain full rights.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
