RE: Permissions request for [Book title]
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to you to request permission to use an image of the book cover and abstract of the
following book(s) for the online Mi’kmaw Archives (http://mikmawarchives.ca):
[Author(s)/Editor(s)] [Copyright year] [Book title] [ISBN]
[If the request is being made by an author(s) of a chapter in an edited volume _________]
The goal of the Mi’kmaw Archives is to showcase Mi’kmaq humanities, knowledges, social issues, and
sciences that have been produced by authors, poets, researchers etc. that is in the public domain. The
theme of the archive is the Mi’kmaw word Tepi’ketuek—sharing or distributing what we have—and was
chosen to reflect the tradition of giving and receiving what each of us have to offer so that the collective
may flourish. By collecting and sharing these materials, the archive seeks to raise the awareness of the
nature, depth, scope, beauty, and creativity of the Mi’kmaq today, as well as for future generations.
Both the Mi’kmaw Archives team and I hope you will give us permission to showcase this work by
allowing us to include the cover and abstract of the book on the website. The entry, in addition to this
request for an image of the cover and the abstract of the book, will include the author(s) and a picture
of them, the ISBN and number of pages of the book, a link to both the author (if they agree) and to your
publishing company.
If you accept this invitation to share via our website, we hope that you can provide us with a JPEG or
TIFF file of the cover that we can resize to fit the requirements of the website.
If you require more information you can visit the website at www.mikmawarchives.ca or contact myself
by email ([email address]) or by telephone ([telephone number]). You may also wish to cc this
correspondence with the coordinator of the website: Marie Battiste, at marie.battiste@usask.ca.
Thank you for considering this request.
Sincerely,
