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  If it is considered to have been published it is now in the public domain but if considered unpublished it is under copyright for several more years since the author died in mid- 1936.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
