Anything that was first published 1927 or earlier in the U.S. is not copyrightable. The cutoff will soon roll over to 1928.


In the US, NYTimes editions from 1927 or earlier (1928 in two days time) are out of copyright and enter the public domain.


Anything before the start of the Great Depression.

Cultural stagnation at its finest.
