Copyright renewals for 1955

Copyright renewals made in 1955 are available from this page. Renewals in 1955 are classified by category.

Original copyrights date from 1927 and 1928. 1927 copyrights could also be renewed in 1954, and 1928 copyrights could also be renewed in 1956.

The following types of renewal records are available here:

• Books and Submissions to Periodicals (118 pages)
• Periodicals (14 pages)
• Drama and Works Prepared for Oral Delivery (31 pages)
• Artwork and photographs (8 pages)

Copyright renewals also exist for music, film, commercial prints, and certain other categories. We have no immediate plans to digitize these, since we're mainly interested in book renewals at this point. If you want to digitize these, though, contact onlinebooks@pobox.upenn.edu.

A guide to abbreviations used in the records is now available. Other introductory information may be available soon.
