The Boston ArchiveBoston, Massachusetts

Under what rights statement does the archive hold Atlas of the city of Boston, Boston proper?

This answer was composed from the records listed beneath it, and from nothing else. Every statement carries the identifier of the record that supports it; every identifier was verified against the retrieved set before this page existed; and the records are named so the answer can be checked against them.

Under this rights determination, as the record carries it — the source's statement together with the corroboration the archive recorded beside it: “No known copyright restrictions. (holding institution's determination), corroborated by the item's own date of 1898 — before 1929, and therefore in the public domain in the United States” The archive reads that as No known copyright restrictions. urn:lemay:boston:document:atlas-of-the-city-of-boston-boston-proper-22

The determination is the one the source publishes for this item rather than for its collection, and the source publishes it at https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:9g54z588b, so a reader can check it there. urn:lemay:boston:document:atlas-of-the-city-of-boston-boston-proper-22
