Useful US old work copyright templates:

• {{PD-US-no notice}}

• {{PD-US-not renewed}}

• {{PD-US-1978-89}} - not this one, but the one on Commons, which reads:

• According to The Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices: Chapter 2200, § 2207.1(C) at p. 18:

"A notice of copyright on the dust jacket of a book is not an acceptable notice for the book, because the dust jacket is not permanently attached to the book. Likewise, a notice appearing in a book is not an acceptable notice for the dust jacket or any material appearing on that dust jacket, even if the book refers to the jacket or material appearing on the jacket.".

• For Copyright renewal in the United States: for works (books and films), with US copyright notices from 1925-1963.
  • Internet Archive Copyright renewal records: https://archive.org/details/copyrightrecords has through 1978; search in text, not metadata, look up to 28 years after initial publication.
  • https://cocatalog.loc.gov/ has 1978-, sort by original dates, renewals will be earlier, and registration numbers will start with RE.
  • Recent (2022) Commons deletion case about an EBay image front and back showing lack of copyright notice: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:JimLondos.jpg
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Minerva_Kohlhepp_Teichert_1908.jpg and User:Clindberg on US publication of a pre-1978 studio photograph: "Limited publication" did not cause loss of copyright; only "general publication" did. A book author giving copies of manuscripts to various publishing houses would be "limited"; only the publication of the book for the general public would be the important event. There were even different definitions of "limited publication"; one definition was giving out copies to a limited set of people, for a limited purpose, and with restrictions on further distribution. All three had to be satisfied, otherwise it was general publication. ... If you take the view that the copyright was owned by the photographer, then the sale probably constituted general publication. It was given only to a limited set of people (the family), but it was not for a limited purpose, and there were no restrictions on further publication. Furthermore, copies were sold, which almost always was and is considered publication. In that view, it became published immediately, and if no notice was on the copies given, then immediately public domain.

Finding images

• Google image search, Labeled for reuse with modification
• Openverse - WordPress search, for when Flickr Image Search goes down, which it often does.
• https://www.bram.us/2008/01/12/my-priceless-flickr-tip-how-to-find-the-original-flickr-photo-url-and-user-from-a-static-flickr-image-url/ Got a link like //farm3.static.flickr.com/2085/2177060015_258bcfaff9_m.jpg and want to find out which user posted it, more images by that user, see the full-size version, etc? From the URL you’ve got take extract the image name (2177060015_258bcfaff9_m.jpg) and split it on the underscore. The first part is the photoID, the second part is the hash/salt and (if there) the third part the size (Full format: photoId_hash_size.jpg). Now append that photoId to http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id= and *MAGIC* there you have it, the Original Flickr Photo URL (and the user) 🙂 The example above would be transformed to http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id=2177060015
• https://www.voanews.com/s - note that that most photos on site are from AP or Reuters, so not public domain - look for VOA watermark or label. VOA videos are also good.
• Project Gutenberg (Google Search, because the onsite search is terrible) find a book, either go to the More files... section, look in the Images folder to see whether there are any, or at the HTML version (to see the images in context)
• YouTube (The Google image search failed in summer 2017, soon after I left, and hasn't been fixed since, despite my writing my old team)
  • To get the default YouTube thumbnail screenshot from a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGtps--wNc4 go to https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KGtps--wNc4/maxresdefault.jpg
