Hi Donna,
I've been doing some data gathering on this question of "copyrighting"
scanned images of public domain works. I'm hoping to eventually write a
paper on it as it pertains to maps. We'll see how long that takes! But,
I'm not sure they can copyright the image as scanning is not typically
considered a "transformative event," meaning nothing new and unique has
been created to allow for a new copyright. What they can do is license
the image and its use.
Someone else probably knows more than me and can comment further on
this. I think my understanding of all of this is still pretty shaky.
