Saving Stuff

How can I find this information about my school?

There are some incidents in my college’s history that I want to look up, but I don’t know where to look. Are there websites that have archives of old newspaper articles (as in, from the 60s) for free, or would I have to pay? Could I find these in a library?

Most archives you have to pay. Might check the college library. Still might have to pay but ask someone if you do.

Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse: Race to Death Valley (Vol. 1) (Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse) $12.95 One of the most eagerly-anticipated projects in comics.Today everyone knows Mickey Mouse as the cheerful ambassador of all things Disney. But back in the 1930s, Mickey gained fame as a rough-and-tumble, two-fisted epic hero — an adventurous scrapper matching wits with mobsters, kidnappers, spies, and even (gulp!) city slickers! And Mickey’s greatest feats of derring-do took place in h…

Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper $6.20 Since the 1950s, our country’s greatest libraries have, as a matter of common practice, dismantled their collections of original bound newspapers and so-called brittle books, replacing them with microfilmed copies. The marketing of the brittle-paper crisis and the real motives behind it are the subject of this passionately argued book, in which Nicholson Barker pleads the case for saving our …

Whether you’re part of a large family or you were adopted into a family as a child, it’s likely that you enjoy a natural interest in family history. However, in recent years, the burgeoning demand for family history resources and genealogy services seems to have captured the imaginations of people in society more than ever before!

For many, the main reason for this has been the sudden expansion in the amount of information available on the internet for genealogy and family history research. As more and more people have the internet in their homes, it’s become increasingly possible for family history buffs to discover their heritage online – a process which is ten times easier than having to explore dusty library archives for hours to find only small bits of information. The ability to scour a census for births, marriages, deaths or addresses on the web takes days off a search that would previously have been undertaken manually.

What’s more, as millions of people all over the world have ancestors from the UK, the Internet allows family historians based in Canada, the United States, Australia and even New Zealand to research their family trees from home. And with some family history sites linked to modern day people finders, once you’ve researched your past, you might be able to find distant relatives in the present as well.

It’s also become easier to trace the genesis of particular names through history. If your name is ‘Churchill’ or ‘Dickens’, for instance, it’s likely that you’ll be keen to trace your genealogy back through the years and establish whether you have any family connections to these famous figures in British history. And if you live in an old house and you’ve always been keen to discover its history, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s now easier to trace the history of your home. Discovering the past of a particular house can be done by exploring the lives of its previous residents, investigating key happenings in the history of your neighbourhood and even tracing the original interior design of your house to a particular date.

If you are planning to delve deeper into the history of your family, your name, or your house, you’ll have a variety of modern and up-to-date resources at your disposal, with some sites allowing you to search for information from British family records reaching as far back as 1837. The BBC, for instance, runs a comprehensive family history advice section on its website, and the Guardian newspaper recently released its own guide to how to embark on a genealogy search. But, however you choose to embark on your genealogy search – whether it’s on the internet or by getting cosy amongst the library shelves – make sure you stay organised. Better planning is sure to lead to more discoveries – so you’ll be more able to uncover any hidden family secrets!

library of congress catalog?

Does the library accept poems, music lyrics, etc to be copyrighted /licensed, or trademarked? Explain what exactly what the Library of Congress serve the public, please.
Thank you.

The library does not do copyrights. That is the business of the US Copyright office. I think it is in fact www.copyright.gov
BTW, For a lot of what you mentioned it rarely is needed to copyright it. Copyright really is about “the right to make copies.” The protection is from the time it is written or produced and not really from filing a copyright. Even if you file a copyright someone else at a later time can claim they own the material. That is why you have lawsuits. A Copyright does not prove you created it or own it. Additionally it is only needed when (very important) you want to make copies. If you have a song you wrote and just play it for people (which btw, adds real proof you created/wrote it) you do not need a copyright. If the song is going to be put on records to sell or distribute then AT THAT TIME you need the copyright.
If you are considering getting the song published at some point, or recording for a label, usually you are better off waiting to copyright it. A lot of publishers want material uncopyrighted. Then at that time it would be copyrighted.
As a side note, you do not trademark the material you mentioned.
The Library of Congress if just that a library. It collects (mainly published or of known authors) material of significance. It does not accept material that does not meet certain criteria or at the lest would be requested by the public. Think of your local library. If your local library would take it the LOC would. If you library would not the LOC probably won’t either.
