PORT MORESBY - I would like to rely on your network for the name and contact details of a legal or family representative of the late James Sinclair’s estate.
PNG Attitude recorded his passing in an obituary published on 10 October 2017, ‘Jim Sinclair OBE, recorder of PNG's colonial history, dies at 89’.
At the PNG National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA), where I’m employed, we are trying to put together a project that will be based around the two books that James wrote about the history of the telecommunications sector in PNG:
Sinclair, James. 1984. Uniting a Nation (ISBN 1 86333 100 X). Crawford House Press Pty Ltd: New South Wales
Sinclair, James. 1993. PTC: uniting a nation through the 1980s (ISBN 1 86333 082 8). Crawford House Press Pty Ltd: New South Wales
We would like to confirm if the estate owns the copyright and whether there is a need to obtain copyright permission for NICTA’s project and if so, for us to be able to do the right thing.
Hope you are able to link me up with a legal representative or member of the Sinclair family who can help us with the copyright query.
