Standard life+70 (okey technically some slightly
reduced moral rights
under Provision 79(6)(b) but meh). Bits of it might be public domain
(if you can argue that the individual articles and images constitute
separate works) but most of it probably isn't (assuming they followed
the standard model of getting a bunch of junior employes or academics
to do most of the work). In the US it's PD if pre 1923. Otherwise 95
years after publication.
Hm. Does life+70 also apply to works for hire?
Yes. UK law doesn't really have the same distinction in length when it
comes to corporate copyright as the US.
