T H E - C O P Y R I G H T OFFICE REPORT TO THE LIBRARUN OF CONGRESS BY THE REGISTER OF COPYRIGHT3
WASHINGTON, D. C., August 28, 1946. IR: The copyright business and the
S
work of the Copyright Office for the W l year July 1, 1945 to June 30, 1946, inclus'ive, an summarized as follows: The outstanding events of the past fiscal year were three. The first was the continued increase in thc number of registrations of copyright claims, which rose from 178,848 in fiscal 1945 to 202,144 in fiscal 1946, the greatest number in the history of thc Copyright Oftice, and a number M, far beyond the capacities of &=existing staff that Congress, responding to the need, generously provided for additional personnel. The second war the establishment of the first of four divisions into which the eleven sections of the Copyright Oflice arc to 6c combined, and the third was the adoption of new application forms and certificates for copyright registration. , All classes of registrations increased during the p a r , with the exception of lectures, sermons, and addrtsses, which declined h m 1,177 to 1,129, and English books ngistertd for ad interim copyright, which declined dightly from 679 to 610, undoubtedly because of a Residential Proclamation -ding temporarily the time within which British authors may make copyright registrations. Thc most conspicuous increase occurred in 'the field in which registrations were delayed because of the war books abroad in a foreign language. Registrations of such books increased from 111 in fiscal 1945 to 3,513 in fiscal 1946. Thc mxt largest increases in terns of percentages were 104 percent in prints, 70 percent in works of art, and 39 percent in
-
photographs. Considered from the point of view.of numbers rather than percentages, thc largest increases are 5,532 in musical compositions, 2,618 in pamphlets, and 2,526 in periodicals. Musical compositions continued the incrwc that has caused them more than to double during the last decade and is presumably influenced by the increase in the inducements for the composition of music brought about by the development of the radio. The number of periodicals copyrighted is also at an all-time high, but pamphlets art rtU below thck prtwar peak. number of copyrighted books printed in the United States increased 10 percent, from 6,962 in fiscal.1945. to 7,679 in 1 1946, but it is still considerably below prewar production, due undoubtedly to the continuing effect of the war and to continuing paper shortages. W i g fiscal 1946 plans for the norganization of the Copyright Office took definite form. The survey of the organizational structure of the Office which was begun in the w m of the preceding year revealed that eleven independent sections were too many for effective supervision and for the development of official lines of av*horit)c. The division of the Office into so many small group tended also to create lines of promotion within each section and thus to limit opportunities for promotion except in term of experience. I n addition, it d u d the number who might have an opportunity to view the work of the Office as a whole, thus increasing the probability of one section duplicating the work of another and of the imperfect coordination of the work of the Office as a whole.
OF THE REGISTER OF COPYRIGHTS, 1946
It was decided to combine the eleven sections into fo& dkisions: an Examining Division' to pass upon all applications for copyright registrations, a Cataloging Division to catalog all copyright registrations, a Reference Division to fiupply the public with information concerning copyrights and copyright ~gistrations,and a Service Division t o handle moneys rectivtd toe t h e r with the receipt and dispatch of mail and t o maintain the files. Thin grouping will provide for all members of t k Copyright Office staff, except the legal staff and the personnel in the office of the Register, the Associate Register and the Assistant Register. A position of A-iatc Register was established, for the p u r w of colla$orathg with the Register on problems relating to c h v in the Copyright Act and on copyright relations with fonign countries. The position of h i s t a n t Register has changed &om one dealing primarily with problems of law to om concerned with personnel and the of the general administrative probl-
Office. Tk work of reorganization began with the Cataloging Division. In the coura of the year plans for this Division were worked out, approved by the Civil Service Commission, and put into effect. work of =organizing the other divisions L well under way and should be completed before the end of the next fiscal yeat. In addition to the need for reorganizing the work, it was of course necessary also tp 'reclassify the positions. ;rhe kataloging Division is the only unit thk ;eorganization of which was actually C'o$~let~dduripg the year. It taka the place df the former Catalog, Index, and Record and Certificate Sections and to a considerable u r t ~ the t place of the Cor~ p + e n c c ' Section. It is administered by a Chief, an Assistant Chief, and an' editor, and ie divided into' four sections:
the Book Section, the Music Section, the Gumula'tiveSection, and 'the isc cell ant our Section. The Miellaneoua Section consists of three units, Unit A dealing with motion pictures, dramas, and Icctqs; Unit B, with a d v e r h e n t e and contributions to periodicals; Unit C, with. art, maps, and printrr. The work of setting up the Divisiolb has necessarily proceeded slowly, The h t half of the year was nearly over before the functions of each position w a r worked out and allocations fused by the Civil Service Commission. The second half of the fiscal year was taken up with selecting . the staff and improving p d w t ~ The Cataloging Division rrprcscnts not only a change in organization, but also in cataloging procedurea. The Copyright Office has always been required by m t i m 56 of the Copyright Act to catdog and to print catalogs of copyright entried. It was decided that the Cataloging Division would catalog in accordance with tbt practices of the Processing Department, in order that entries made by it might be d without d o n . This decision made necessary the training of the cataEoging staff ofthe Copyright Offi& in the a p p l i tion of new cataloging rula and procedures. A start in this direction was taken by instituting a twelve-week instwice training courst conducted by VirgSnia Cunningham, Esther Eytcheson and Henrietta Howell, all of Library's k ing Department, and Dorothy Arbaugh, of the Office of the Quartermaster General, W a r Departmcnt. Since the completion d the course, in-service trajniag in modified form has been continued by the heads of the various sections and units. Plana for the Cataloging Division call not only for the elimination of duplication in cataloging throughout the Library, but for an improved Catalog qf C-ht Entrais. A h the Division hopes to suvc persons interested in copyrights by issuing

ita catalogs very much more promptly than in the past and by including in them bibliographical information of recognized usefulness. In addition, it is planned to mtore the helpful induces which the exigencies of war made it necessary to abandon. The desirability of making some parts of the Catalog qf Copyright Entries useful to libraries, scholars, and other persons interested in the contents of deposited publications has been discussed a number oftimes. For example, many music lovers have urged the production of a catalog of published American music that will do for American music what the great Hofmister catalogs have done for German music. This we expect to accomplish. After consultation with the American Book Publishers' Council, the Music Publishers' Protective Association, and many publishus in New York and elsewhere, the Copyright Office has adopted new and radically simplified "applicationcertificate" forms. These have w t yet been devised for all classes of applications, but Form A has been hued for books published in the United States (replacing A, A-1, A-2, and A d ) , Form A-Foreign for books published .outsi& of the United States (r~placingA-3 and A+), Form B for newspapers and other periodicals published in the United States (replacing B-1 and B-2), Form E for mmuscript music and music wherever published (replacing E, E-1, J3-2, J3-3 and EForcign) and Form R for renewals (replacing the old form R). The new application secures three important pieces of information not called h r by the old: (1) the author's pseudonym, (2) the ycar of the author's birth, and (3) if he is not living, the ycar of his death. Thcse data are requested for cataloging P'upOSes. Thc four sections of the Cataloging Division-the Book, Music, Cumulative, and Miscellaneous Sections-arc headed

mpectively by Dorothy Arbaugh, Virginia Cunningham, Margaret B. Martin, and Joseph W. Rogers. Of the e v e n other administrative positions in the Cataloging Division five have been filled by promotions within t k Copyright Office and two by additions to the staff. Raymond V. Robinson, for many years t k head of the Catalog Section, has become editor. Howard M. Myers, formerly Acting -Chief of the Index Section, has been made assistant head of the Miscellaneous Section, Josephine B. Rogers,' formerly special assistant to the Chief of the Catalog Section, is now assistant head of the Music Section, and Marian B. Myers, formerly Assistant Chief of the Mails, Files, and Search Section, is arrsistant headof the Cumulative Section. Hugh B. Nesbitt, Jr., formerly Chief of the Record and Certificate Section, has taken charge of the Art Unit in the Miscellaneous Section. Katharine W. Clugston, who heads the Motion Picture and Drama Unit used to be head of the Accession Searching Section of the Acquisitions Department i n the Library of Congress. The head of the Advertisements and Contributions Unit has not yet been appointed. Increased interest in protecting literary property has occasioned renewed consideration of the desirability of the United States negotiating copyright treaties with foreign countries. The Copyright Ofice has assisted the Department of State in the consideration of a number of proposals, and it is hoped that within a few years we may have treaties with other nations which will increase the protection which the works of American authors receive abroad. Early this year the Pan American Union invited the twenty-one American Republics to send delegates to.an Inter-American Conference of Experts onaCopyrightto be held in the Pan American Union in June. All the republics accepted and sent dele-

gates. T h e delegate of the United Statd was LuthH. Evans, Librarian of
Congress. A number of advian and special assistants were appointed to assist him, of whom two, Richard C. DeWolf and Sam B. ~ b e r were , h r n the Copyright Ofiice. The confennce produced a new copyR E G ~ I I O NDY 8lmpCT
