Jussi, I'm not finding the post you are replying too, what's the context here?

 The Board of Trustees is dead in their shoes. What precisely

[Wikimedia-l] Copyright information not digitised?

2012-06-23 Thread Kim Bruning


According to:

http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120330/12402418305/why-missing-20th-century-books-is-even-worse-than-it-seems.shtml

a lot of books have an uncertain copyright status, because the Copyright Office 
records have not been
digitized yet.

Is this true? Would offering to help digitize these records fit in our mission
(especially wrt WikiSource) ?

sincerely,
Kim Bruning

There are scans of most of the relevant records, and the records for books
are also transcribed by Project Gutenberg and searchable at a stanford uni
website. See en.ws template PD-US-no-renewal. The scans need to be
transcribed to increase accessibility.
