Copyrights

  • Those of Lovecraft's works that were published before 1923 are clearly in the public domain.
  • Works published after 1922 may be in the public domain because they were not properly renewed. It is up to the contributor to review renewal records and to certify that he has done so, and to report what, if anything that he found there. For The Call of Cthulhu this means looking at the renewal records for 1953, 1954 and 1955. Failure to do this may inspire an impatient sysop to delete the material because you failed to do your homework.
  • According to S.T. Joshi's "H.P. Lovecraft: A Life" (pp. 640-641): Much of Lovecraft's work is in the public domain. This is unquestionably so in terms of the tales, essays, and poems published in the amateur press. As for stories published in "Weird Tales", the six that the magazine owned outright should have had their copyrights renewed after twenty-eight years, but repeated searches in the Library of Congress have turned up no renewals of any kind. Of the stories Lovecraft himself controlled, by law only he, his heirs, or his executor could have renewed the rights, but this was never done.
  • The University of Pennsylvania has posted a page with scans of copyright records at http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/. These may be reviewed from the convenience of your home, when looking for renewals. Chris Karr has reviewed these documents and has published a report of his findings at http://www.aetherial.net/personal/files/lovecraft_renewals.pdf . In short, there no copyright records that reference any of Lovecraft's original stories (only the Arkham House compilations), but the copyrights to "Weird Tales" were renewed properly, and works published prior to 1926 (when Lovecraft is thought to have sold full rights to "Weird Tales") in that magazine may be subject to protection IF they were published in "Weird Tales" for the first time. Joshi identifies thirteen works and believes that seven of those thirteen had been published elsewhere previously.
