Copyright renewals for 1974
Copyright renewals made in 1974 will be available from
this page. Renewals in 1974 were classified by category.
Original copyrights date from 1946 and 1947. 1946 copyrights could
also be renewed in 1973, and 1947
copyrights could also be renewed in 1975.
The following types of renewal records will be available here:
- Books and Submissions to Periodicals (192 pages)
- Periodicals (50 pages)
- Drama (?? pages)
- Artwork and photographs (? pages)
To see if a book can go online, you may have to check
not only the "Books" category, but also the "periodicals"
category, if parts of the book first appeared in a periodical,
and the "artwork" category if you want to scan any of the
illustrations. If the book is a play, check the "Drama" category too.
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.
