U.S. Copyright Renewals, 1956 January - June

"U.S. Copyright Renewals, 1956 January - June" is a record put together during the middle of the 20th century that keeps track of copyright renewals for different kinds of creative works. This reference book acts like a time capsule, organizing entries by writers or titles, with information about the first registrations and the renewals, and connections to who owns the copyrights and who helped create the works. It probably wants to give important information about what people were writing and publishing back then, as well as the legal side of copyright. The book gets started by explaining how the copyright renewal lists are set up and what's inside. The entries include different types of writing, like books, short booklets, and magazines, all arranged in an organized way. Each entry has details about the registration, like the original writer, people who worked together on it, editors, and facts about the renewal, showing that it tries to be complete in documenting works that had their copyrights renewed. This detailed list seems to be carefully put together to help researchers, historians, and lawyers follow the history of who created works and how copyright law changed in the U.S.
