"The original 1921 version of the Canadian copyright act is here. It wasn't changed much for many years, though obviously there were some tweaks, as the photographic term of 50 years from creation was article 7 in that law -- obviously at some point they added the extension to the end of the calendar year (many laws did that in the middle of the 20th century), and some additional articles, likely dealing with joint works and posthumous works. In general, the law was almost the same as the UK's Copyright Act 1911, which also had a term of 50 years from creation. The UK changed to 50 years from publication in the Copyright Act 1956 (effective mid-1957), but that only applied to photos created after its effective date. Canada did not seem to update its law to match at the time, the way many of the other British Commonwealth countries did, so photos remained 50 years from creation. The UK updated their law again in 1988 (effective 1989), and Canada started modernizing theirs then. Canada's photograph term changed in 1999 (to 50pma, though corporate photos were still 50 years from creation until a 2012 change removed the corporate part). However, photos which had become PD by the old rules remained PD. And as you noted, for U.S. URAA purposes the date would be 1996 -- photos created before 1946 should be OK in the U.S. as well, unless they followed the U.S. notice and renewal requirements (rare for photographs). The UK of course enacted the EU directive in 1996 which retroactively overrode all the old rules, so the old terms are now irrelevant there for the most part, but they remain quite relevant for Canada." - Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:43, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
