Good Afternoon,

 

Does anyone know whether amateur press sci-fi fanzines are considered
'published' for copyright purposes since they are not published 'normal'
publishing houses?  I have a patron who wants to use an article from a 1936
fanzine we hold in a publication.  If it is considered to have been
published it is now in the public domain but if considered unpublished it is
under copyright for several more years since the author died in mid- 1936.

 

Thanks for you assistance,

Marcia
