Carried out from April to August 2011 within the framework of ARROW PLUS, CEPIC gathered information on Orphan Works from a representative selection of commercial picture archives specialising in historic material.

28 agencies from different European countries replied to the survey. Their responses highlight inter alia reasons for orphaned works, ways of retrieving the rights holder but also costs of digitization and preservation. Additional information, examples of Orphan Works and a case study are provided in the appendix of the survey.
