About Copyrights

Though we are no experts in legal matters, we believe that copyrights for the materials from this era have expired after 95 years. Therefore, all works below are thought to be in the public domain, except for works created during or after 1929. Hopefully no one will mind. If we are wrong and you own any of the copyrights to the materials below, please let us know using the link above. It is also our belief that a scan, picture, or other simple duplication of a work does not grant copyright status on that scan, picture or simple duplication of the work. Some of the works below may have been copied from a website that restricts their use. We believe these restrictions are valid, and have not knowingly posted any files that go against these restrictions. If you see something that goes against these restrictions, we apologise in advance and will be happy to remove it from this site if you let us know using the link above.
