Basically if the work was published in 1923 or later, there is a potential
for it to be still under copyright. Copyright laws have changed a lot.

I forgot to mention, many works had expired their copyrights BEFORE the
representatives were paid off to lengthen that law--those works STILL
remain un-copyrighted. So, in effect, each older work has to be
researched to make a copyright determination--just another layer of
difficulty in an already difficult world ...
