Copyright – Jane Addams Papers Project

Jane Addams’ unpublished writings are in the public domain, as are all of her published works written more than 95 years ago (1927).

Unpublished documents — letters, diaries, speech texts — written more than 70 years from the death of the author are in the public domain. This holds for Jane Addams, who died in 1935. This also holds true of any of her correspondents who died before 1952.

Some of Addams’ published writings (book, journal and newspaper articles) may still be under copyright.

Details on the copyright holder or status of specific individuals, will be posted in the Jane Addams Digital Edition.

For more on copyright, see the Library of Congress’s resource page.

We are actively seeking copyright permission for Addams’ correspondents. If you are the rights holder or have information about the rights holder of the people named below, please contact us!
