Public domain issues

Works copyrighted before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year. If the copyright was not renewed the work is in the public domain. Time magazine was not diligent in renewing the copyrights of their early issues. The first renewal was filed in 1962 starting with the January 29, 1934 issue. Time failed to file any renewals in 1963, 1967 and 1972.

The following issues of Time magazine are in the public domain.

  • March 3, 1923 to January 22, 1934.
  • January 7, 1935 to June 29 1936.
  • July 3, 1939 to May 13, 1940
  • January 7, 1945 to January 29, 1945.

The table below shows the copyright registrations and renewals of issues up to 1946. The information is from the Catalog of Copyright Entries, published by the US Copyright Office. Online page scans can be found here: http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/ Use the "Renewals for Periodicals" section near the bottom of each year.

Notes: Time magazine has two volumes of about 26 issues a year. The copyright records use a date format of day, month, year.
