American Golfer - 1921-1936 ?

[Sébastien Dhaussy]

American Golfer was published from 1908 to 1936. We can find 1908-1920 period on AAFLA site for a long time but it seems the work of digitalization has stopped.

Anyone with informations on AAFLA work (under progress, ...) ?

Anyone with informations on others Internet sources for the 1921-1936 period ?

Thanks.

I was just there last Friday.

The cost to digitize these issues is the reason, and while it is planned, they have other fish to fry. (so-to-speak)

Besides that's not the good stuff that needs to be scanned, I think if any of you saw some of the old Golfdom's or Country Club magazine and Pacific Coast Golf & Motor, your heads would spin ala Linda Blair.

Thanks, Thomas.

Can you give some details on the content of these magazines (I don't know the Country Club and Pac Coast golf)?

Thanks.

What always made the American Golfer stuff cool is that it is public domain. Everything else you couldn't reproduce unless it is at least 75 years (I think it is still 75 years. Congress keeps pushing it back more to protect Mickey Mouse). But yeah, now that 75 years we are talking about 1930, plenty of good stuff prior to then. Anyone know if 75 years is still the deadline for public domain?

Born of necessity, the little fellow [Mickey Mouse] literally freed us of immediate worry. He provided the means for expanding our organization to its present dimensions and for extending the medium cartoon animation towards new entertainment levels. He spelled production liberation for us.
