The Boston ArchiveBoston, Massachusetts

Under what rights statement does the archive hold Literary Papers of William Austin, with a Biographical Sketch?

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: “NOT_IN_COPYRIGHT (Internet Archive item rights review), corroborated by the item's own publication date of 1890 — before 1929, and therefore in the public domain in the United States” The archive reads that as Public domain — published before 1929. urn:lemay:boston:document:literary-papers-of-william-austin-with-a-biographical-sketch

The determination is the one the source publishes for this item rather than for its collection, and the source publishes it at https://archive.org/metadata/literarypapersof00austrich, so a reader can check it there. urn:lemay:boston:document:literary-papers-of-william-austin-with-a-biographical-sketch
