by Library of Congress. Copyright Office
This reference volume compiles all U.S. copyright renewal registrations recorded between January and June 1956. It lists books, pamphlets, serials, and contributions to periodicals, arranging entries alphabetically by author or issuing body, with serials sorted by title. Each record shows both the original registration details and the renewal information, and includes cross‑references for claimants, joint authors, editors, and other contributors.
For anyone researching the legal status of early‑20th‑century publications, the book offers a concise snapshot of which works were successfully renewed during this six‑month window. Detailed entries provide registration numbers, dates of original copyright and renewal, and notes on related works, making it a practical tool for librarians, archivists, and scholars tracing provenance. The clear organization and comprehensive coverage help users quickly verify whether a particular title remains under protection or has entered the public domain.
