Dottie Baker Posted August 3, 2018 at 09:05 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 at 09:05 PM Where would I be able to copy the quote from Parliamentary Law, Q&A #365, p. 530? I can't seem to locate it on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted August 3, 2018 at 09:27 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 at 09:27 PM Looks like the Copyright has been renewed so no public domain for you. In other words, if you found it online it probably shouldn't have been there. You will need to go to your local library or bookstore to get a copy of it.

The 1923 version should enter the public domain next year according to Cornell's excellent chart of copyright term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Rempel Posted August 8, 2018 at 08:45 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 at 08:45 PM There is a more recent copyright, though, than 1923. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more recent copyright was 1951. Al least according to the chart, the copyright would still expire 95 years from the first publication.

An introduction by the NAP President. I guess that explains it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted August 9, 2018 at 04:32 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 at 04:32 PM My copy, which is the Bicentennial Edition, has a prefatory note by Henry M. Robert III and an introduction by Mrs. G. Frederick Norman, President of the National Association of Parliamentarians and has a copyright date of 1975 by Irvington Publishers, Inc. It also shows a previous copyright by The Century Company in 1923 and a copyright renewal by Mrs. Isabel H. Robert in 1953. Mine also says this edition is dedicated "to The National Association of Parliamentarians, who have encouraged its publication". I guess the question at hand is whether these new copyrights start the copyright clock running from scratch. I don't know. Do any of you?

I guess the question at hand is whether these new copyrights start the copyright clock running from scratch. I don't know. Do any of you? My hard copy of the 4th edition (1915) has a preface from Henry M. Robert, III is copyrighted in 1971. The text of the 4th edition has appeared online for at least a decade, but without the preface; it also contains a copyright from 1951 (which I would assume was the renewal). The 4th and 5th editions are copyrighted in 1943 and 1951, respectively. I actually do have a copy of Parliamentary Law that contains no prefaces, except from General Robert, which contains no later date than 1923.
