I have two newspaper articles from Australian newspapers which have ceased publication - one in 1930 and one in 1990. Articles publlished in 1923. May I post them on a profile without violating copyright laws? Thanks in advance.

Best answer

Australian newspapers published before 1 January 1955 are out of copyright, since the copyright protection in effect at that time ran only for 50 years from the date of publication.
