Copyright renewals for 1956

Copyright renewals made in 1956 will be available from this page. Renewals in 1956 were classified by category.

Original copyrights date from 1928 and 1929. 1928 copyrights could also be renewed in 1955, and 1929 copyrights could also be renewed in 1957.

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 may be available soon.
