Help us choose the material that will be digitized for January 2024 as part of the Libraries’ annual celebration of the public domain! Each year, copyright will expire for a new group of creative works, and those works will fall into the public domain. As part of the public domain, they can be freely used by anyone to create new works and adaptations, fueling new ideas and projects. Find out all about copyright expiration and the public domain on the Libraries’ Copyright guide.
Check out our previous public domain celebrations:
We have searched our physical collections to find the rarest titles whose copyright will expire in 2024, and now we need your help to figure out which 24 to digitize. Please vote for your favorites below (choose up to 24)!
