: : I have in my posession photographs from the 1860's - 1930's. they were taken by city photographers in pittsburg. can i reproduce these pictures and sell them?

: Dear Dave,
: Without research, I believe the Register of copyrights says that no live copyright goes back before 1923 or so.
: Other than questions of your right to own the rights in the pictures, there may be no copyright problems before 1923 or so.
: There may be questions as to who owns the intellectual property in the pictures. Possession in itself does not give the right, as I understand it.

Arthur-
Why 1923? What is the length of an original copyright from this time period and length of renewals?
