Just in from CNI-Copyright. This is an excellent chart to use in trying to determine public-domain status for images. Many are technically 'unpublished' so using the standards for publications can be very misleading.
Thanks to Peter Hirtle for developing this expansion on Lolly Gasaway's original "When Works Pass Into the Public Domain."

A new version of my copyright duration chart, "Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States," is now available at <http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/training/Hirtle_Public_Domain.htm>.
The chart began as an expanded version of Lolly Gasaway's copyright chart, but with the primary focus on unpublished works (though I included published as well). In this new version, the section on unpublished works has been updated to reflect copyright status as of 1 January 2004. A new section on the U.S. copyright status of works published outside of the U.S. has also been added. In order to facilitate printing, a PDF version of the file is available as well, and several new alternative copyright charts are listed in footnote 1.
I welcome corrections or suggestions for improvements.
