An experimental project to archive and re-publish public domain works
COPYRIGHTS OF DIGITAL SCANS OF PUBLIC DOMAIN WORKS
As per Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. (36 F. Supp. 2d 191 - SDNY 1999), exact photographic reproductions of public domain works cannot be protected by any sort of copyright under United States law because they are not considered "original works". Therefore, we treat as public domain any scan we obtain where the underlying work is in public domain.

COPYRIGHT POLICY FOR THE PUBLIC DOMAIN ARCHIVE AND REPRINTS SERVICE
We are based in the United States and follow United States copyright laws as follows:
1. Books published before 1923 are considered in public domain.
2. Books published by the US government are considered public domain.
3. Books after 1923 are only printed if they are marked of as being out of copyright by the original archive.
We do not have control over where are printed books being shipped to since they are printed and ordered by a third party. It is up to the individual purchaser to make sure that the book they are ordering can be legally imported into their country where copyright laws may vary from the US laws.
Since our system is automated it relies on the metadata provided by each of the original archives we support. Occasionally, this data may be inaccurate or wrong, leading to a book being printed through our service. If you are an author, publisher or other copyright holder of a book that has been printed through our service and have proof that the book is in copyright, please contact us promptly.
