Published by the U.S. Copyright Office, this document serves as a comprehensive ledger of copyright renewals processed between January and June 1972. It systematically catalogs the transition of creative and scholarly works from their original registration to renewal status, providing a historical snapshot of the American intellectual landscape during the early 1970s. The registry is organized alphabetically by author, issuing body, or title, meticulously recording specific renewal registration numbers, claimant names, and renewal dates. The collection reflects a vast diversity of genres and formats, ranging from legal reports such as the American Law Reports and American Jurisprudence to academic works like Gregory Zilboorg's 'One hundred years of American psychiatry.' Literary fiction is also well-represented, including titles such as 'The royal game' by Stefan Zweig and 'The writings and speeches of Oliver Cromwell.' Beyond books, the record captures musical compositions, instructional guides, and contributions to periodicals, illustrating the breadth of publishing activity. The document aids in tracing ownership history, particularly for works involving joint authors or editors, by utilizing interfiled references and variant forms. By verifying the legal status of works and ensuring authors and publishers maintained their rights, this record stands as an indispensable resource for understanding the publishing and legal industries of the era. It documents the continued protection of works created during the 1940s, highlighting the enduring nature of intellectual property in a rapidly evolving cultural environment.
