: 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.

The Copyright Office has nothing to do with it. Congress sets the terms and the courts test them. Congress set the 1923 date. As for any unpublished 'common law copyright' photos, congress brought them under the federal copyright act too.
