Copyright renewals for 1953

Copyright renewals made in 1953 will be available from this page. Renewals in 1953 were classified by category.

Original copyrights date from 1925 and 1926. 1925 copyrights could also be renewed in 1952, and 1926 copyrights could also be renewed in 1954.

The following types of renewal records are available here:

• Books (and Submissions to Periodicals, July-December) (106 pages)
• Submissions to Periodicals, January-June (12 pages)
• Periodicals (13 pages)
• Drama (?? pages)
• Artwork and photographs (? pages)

Copyright renewals also exist for music, film, commercial prints, and certain other categories. We have no immediate plans to digitize these, since we're mainly interested in book renewals at this point. If you want to digitize these, though, contact onlinebooks@pobox.upenn.edu.

A guide to abbreviations used in the records is now available. Other introductory information was in the catalogs, but is not available online at this time. To find out more about researching copyright renewals, see this page.
