Yeah but that still doesn't mean that Yale Library authorized the production of the the replica. They authorized access to the original. Nothing more. I can go to any library or museum and once granted access do anything I want with the data I acquire. Now granted, they may be curious about why I wanted access, and maybe I'd even do it under supervision in order to mitigate damage, but the data and the manifestation of that data becomes my own original transformative creative work. The library doesn't own it, or even a part of it, unless a specific agreement was made regarding that.
