That's the most complete list I'm aware of.

Hello Ashok,

You can find a large number of traditional origami models in certain origami 
books, like John Montroll’s book “Fun and Simple Origami: 101 Easy-To-Fold 
Projects” - 
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1478189835/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8=1
 
.
 They aren’t all original models, but most are, and he’s careful about proper 
attribution of models to their authors, so you can be pretty sure which figures 
are or are not public domain. (The diagrams, of course, are all protected, but 
you can teach the traditional models without using John Montroll’s diagrams).

There are other books that are also careful about attribution and include 
traditional models; for example, Robert Harbin was also clear in attributing 
the models in his books, and Secrets of Origami (just to name one) includes a 
number of good traditional models. Or look at The Joy of Origami, by Toshie 
Takahama, The Magic of Origami, by Alice Gray and Kunihiko Kasahara…  and so 
on.  There tends to be a lot of overlap among the different books, though. The 
first one I mentioned (the John Montroll book) is a good place to start.

Best wishes,
Matthew

Are there any sources to find "traditional"/ "public domain" Origami models?


There have been many changes to US Copyright laws and many texts have come into 
public domains because of the changes.

Have any Origami models also come into public domain in a similar manner?
