Documents and letters composed by an artist who died before 1920 lie
unpublished in a private archive. According to Lolly Gasaway's chart, these
works, if unpublished by the end of this year will pass into the public
domain in 2003.
Question one:
Is this chart applicable just for US works to be published in the US, or is
it generally applicable for, say, European works as well?
Question two:
Transcriptions and photocopies of documents held in a private archive exist
outside of the archive. If a scholar who received these facsimiles wishes
to publish them in 2003 (and, assuming they are in the public domain as of
that year), does the archive have any control over administering the right
to publish?
