About us

LACA, the UK Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance, lobbies about copyright and related rights on behalf of its member organisations and UK users of copyright works.

  • To be active and effective in promoting, advocating and lobbying on behalf of our members.
  • To raise and maintain awareness about copyright and licensing in the library, archive, museum and education sectors.
  • To work with colleagues internationally to bring about a harmonised legislative framework, effective for the digital age, that facilitates cross-border working.
