Rights and Access

The Library of Congress believes that many of the telephone directories in this collection are in the public domain or have no known copyright restrictions and are free to use and reuse. For example, all white pages are in the public domain, as are any pre-1964 yellow pages that were not registered and renewed for copyright. The Library presents additional materials for educational and research purposes pursuant to fair use under United States copyright law.

You are responsible for deciding whether your use of the items in this collection is legal. You will need written permission from the rightsholders to copy, distribute, or otherwise use copyrighted materials except as allowed by fair use or other statutory exemptions. Some materials may be protected under international law. You may also need permission from holders of other rights, such as publicity and/or privacy rights.
