When reading the articles about who owns the past there is no definitive answer. No one person or group owns the past but they can help preserve it. Museums, historians, and people can do their best to help make sure history is not forgotten.
For my copyright for my website I chose to do CC BY-ND. I was not sure what I wanted it to be but after taking the creative commons quiz, it said that CC BY-ND would be the best. I would agree with this because I want people to be able to use my website if they need to but I would like to be cited. This copyright grants people the right to share my website for whatever they please just as long as I am credited. The only restriction I have implemented is that you cannot remix, transform, or build upon my website. This means that you cannot distribute a modified version of my site. When I get to my final project I will do a similar or same copyright because I will have done research on my topic. If people want to use my work in the future that is fine I just want to be credited. I do however not want people to edit my work as I have done all the research and do not want to be credited for misinformation if someone uses my work and changes it. When looking at the copyrights of the sources I have used so far for my research they are all up to date. They allow for people to use the work as long as they are properly cited.
