Copyright Office Records Closed to Public During Move to Permanent Quarters

The Copyright Card Catalog, the Copyright Records Room, and the Licensing Public Records Office will close temporarily to permit relocation of these records to permanent quarters in the James Madison Memorial Building. The Copyright Card Catalog (currently LM-464) and the Copyright Records Room (currently LM-464) will be closed to the public December 4—8, 2006. The Licensing Public Records Office (currently LM-458) will be closed to the public December 7—8.

On December 11, 2006, the new Copyright Office Public Records Reading Room will open in room LM-402 of the James Madison Memorial Building. In that room, registered users will access the card catalog, registration records, and licensing public records. Bound copyright application record books (pre-1978) will be delivered to researchers upon request in this reading room.

All changes are part of the implementation of the Copyright Office Reegineering Program that will enable the Copyright Office to provide better service to the public.
