When looking for the periodicals renewals for 1950 last night I didn't find any. 1947 had about 900 renewals and 1951 had about 1000, but 1948, 1949 and 1950 didn't even have a renewals section in the book. This is "The Catalog of Copyright Entries" in the Carnegie Library. Does anyone know what's going on with these? I've got some journal entries I'm trying to put a rule 6 clearance together for and I neede information on 1950 through 1955.
From 1947 to 1950, renewals for all classes of registrations were published together in Part 14 of the CCE (which was actually split into 14B for Music and 14A for everything else). In 1947, they divided up 14A somewhat by class (so periodicals renewals only occupied 3 pages), but then they gave up and put all of 14A into a single collation.
So the periodical (class B) renewals for 1950 are in Part 14A, interfiled with all the other renewals for everything-but-music. E.g., for Jan-June 1950, they're spread over pages 1-60 of Part 14A, and for July-Dec 1950, they're spread over pages 61-121.
PG has text versions of the *book* renewals for 1950-1977. Because of the 1948-1950 interfiling, PG also has the periodical renewals for 1950, scattered throughout etexts #11801 (Jan-June 1950) and #11802 (July-Dec 1950). E.g., in #11801, the first periodical renewal is under "Abbott's Digest of All the New York Reports". (You can tell it's a periodical renewal because its original registration starts with 'B'.)

After 1950, the Copyright Office discontinued Part 14 of the CCE, and went back to having each Part of the CCE also contain the renewal records in the classes covered by that Part.
So the periodical renewals for 1951-1977 are in Part 2 of the CCE. E.g., for Jan-June 1951, they're on pages 155-159 of Part 2, and for July-Dec 1951, they're on pages 303-307. Page images for these two sections appear at <http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/1951r.html>, about 3/4 of the way down the page.
Thank you. That's what I wanted to know. 1950 is already done then for PG. I have photocopies now of 1951-1969 for periodicals renewals. I know books have already been done by DP. -- Greg Weeks http://durendal.org:8080/greg/
