Most of the newspapers in the Hoji Shimbun Digital Collection were published in the United States and ceased publication during World War II, coinciding with US policies that sent Japanese nationals and US-born Japanese to internment camps, if not earlier, with no known continuation of the newspapers’ activity. Other publications were able to continue during the war or resume their activity after the war, with a few still being published today. We understand that the US newspapers published before 1923 are in the public domain and that those published after 1922 and before 1964 are also in the public domain, if copyright notices are posted on the newspapers and if copyright was not renewed pursuant to the Copyright Act of 1909, which protects the copyright for a first term of twenty-eight years.
