According to:
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120330/12402418305/why-missing-20th-cent…
a lot of books have an uncertain copyright status, because the Copyright Office records
have not been
digitized yet.
Is this true? Would offering to help digitize these records fit in our mission
(especially wrt WikiSource) ?
Apparantly this is current, recent, and crowd-sourcing would help.
OCR/Correcting a card catalogue is not very sexy though. <scratches
