Editing Legal deposit (section)

===Finland===
In Finland, [[The Royal Academy of Turku]] was given right to receive a copy of all works published in Sweden in 1707. After Finland had been ceded by Sweden to Russia, this privilege was confirmed in 1809. In 1820, all Russian print presses began to send legal deposit copies to Finland.

Gaining its independence in 1917, Finland retained the principles of legal deposit. Helsinki University Library (the university had been transferred from Turku in 1827) remained the main deposit library. Additional copies began to be deposited in other libraries in Turku, Jyväskylä, and Vyborg (later Oulu). In 1984, the obligation to deposit was expanded to audiovisual materials; responsibility to preserve films was given to the [[Finnish Film Archive|National Audiovisual Institute.]]

A new act on depositing and preservation of cultural materials was given in 2007. The new act covers two new important types of cultural materials. The National Audiovisual Archive collects and preserves broadcast materials, whereas the [[National Library of Finland]] (Helsinki University Library renamed) takes care of capturing and preserving Web content.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationallibrary.fi/publishers/deposit.html|title=Submitting of legal deposit copies - The National Library of Finland|author=Kansalliskirjasto, Nationalbiblioteket, The National Library of Finland|work=nationallibrary.fi}}</ref>
