Peter Kazmierczak Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Does anyone know who holds the copyright to the Railway Clearing House maps? Indeed are they are still in copyright? Many thanks, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium spamcan61 Posted December 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 16, 2011 Wikipedia says no - OK that's not definitive. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dunstable,_Hertford,_Hitchin_&_St_Albans_RJD_35.jpg There's a whole website of them somewhere, i'll see if I can find the link.

RMweb Premium spamcan61 Posted December 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 16, 2011 The link I had is well and truly dead, best I can find at the moment is this scan of the RCH junctions book. It's in black and white which makes it darned difficult to make sense of, maybe those Wiki pages like I linked above are a better bet, particularly if you view the full res version. http://www.archive.o...ge/n29/mode/2up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 So would a 1940 edition of the RCH map of England & Wales be out of copyright? 70 years would take it to 2010. Regards, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Think I'm answering my own question here but can anyone confirm that the following is the correct interpretation: Commercially published maps - copyright lasts for 70 years from the end of the year of publication. Crown copyright (eg OS maps) lasts for 50 years. Am I correct? Thanks, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbedford Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Copyright on any work that is produced by a corporate body, as opposed to an 'author', lasts for 70 years after first publication. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
