HathiTrust has created a 1930 Publications Collection for Public Domain Day. It already has over 20,000 items opened, many by their Copyright Review Program, which finds works without copyright renewals.

Over 50,000 more items will open in 14 days, including the book version of The Maltese Falcon. The serial version was in last year’s #PublicDomainDayCountdown, but I haven’t to date found its now-rare magazine issues. I thank HathiTrust and all others bringing the public domain to the public!
