Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/Public Domain Day 2021 + Wikipedia 20th Anniversary Celebration



Event Summary
Join New England Wikimedians for a celebration of Public Domain Day and the 20th anniversary of Wikipedia! We invite Wiki editors, librarians, history buffs, and Wiki enthusiasts to join us for this online event celebrating all things Wikipedia and recognizing materials from 1925 becoming free of copyright and entering the public domain.

We'll highlight New England authors and artists, as well as books, photographs, and other creative works associated with the U.S. Northeast.

Intellectual property rights for works published in 1925, for example The Great Gatsby and Mrs Dalloway, will expire in 2021 and will therefore become part of the public domain.
