In an attempt to determine if there are current copyrights, specialists in the Prints and Photographs Divison of the Library of Congress conducted a search of the Copyright Office files. It was discovered that copyrights were placed and renewed on the photographs of the Dionne Quintuplets taken by the NEA. Therefore, those photographs are still under copyright." The image of the Dionne Quintuplets was taken in 1938 and distributed to news outlets with a copyright notice, and that image was renewed in 1966.
