Frequently Asked Questions: Manuscripts

If you submitted or wish to submit a work for copyright registration, you should contact the Copyright Office, a separate division of the Library. The Manuscript Division preserves, arranges, and makes available for research historically significant personal papers and organizational records and is not involved with the copyright registration process.

The Manuscript Division holds a collection of dramatic compositions (class D/DU) that were submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office during the years 1901-1977. For further information contact the Manuscript Division.
