What Will Enter the Public Domain in 2026?

In 2026, a new wave of works will enter the public domain, becoming freely accessible for use and enjoyment. This includes works by individuals who died in 1955 for countries with a copyright term of 'life plus 70 years', works by those who died in 1975 for countries with a 'life plus 50 years' term, and films and books published in 1930 in the United States. An advent-style calendar will highlight these new entries each day leading up to January 1st, with a special blog post on public domain day.
