What PD license (template) would this be?
It would be easy to transfer all these pdf's to Commons as one big book.
Thaaaaat's ... a good question. Front page says "undated, but internal
evidence suggests it was produced in the 1920s." It would have fallen
out of copyright in the UK by now. It would not have been published in
the US.
geni, what would your knowledge of UK copyright quirks make of this?
Standard life+70 (okey technically some slightly reduced moral rights
under Provision 79(6)(b) but meh). Bits of it might be public domain
(if you can argue that the individual articles and images constitute
separate works) but most of it probably isn't (assuming they followed
the standard model of getting a bunch of junior employes or academics
to do most of the work). In the US it's PD if pre 1923. Otherwise 95
years after publication.
