Popis: This article constitutes an attempt at creating a definition of copyright classification within the Polish legal system of oral history accounts. The author answers the questions of whether an oral history account is a scholarly work; who the author of such an account is; and what conditions need to be met in order for a person to be considered the author of the account in the context of copyright law. He discusses which copyright laws relate to such accounts, who holds the copyright to accounts, and what the scope of the copyright encompasses. The author also outlines the manner in which the issue of copyright law in practice affects the activities of institutions concerned with collecting and archiving oral history accounts.
