Re: copyright questions



Regarding the copyright of unpublished materials after the author's
death, does anyone have any idea what happens when there are no
known heirs? I have  a researcher who is somewhat eager to look
at a correspondence file for a donor who died in the late 1970s.
There are no heirs identified at this point to clarify copyright
permission for our institution. Does anyone know of any precedents
in this sort of situation?

Thank you for any guidance you can share.
