as the old saying goes, it depends :-)
this B170 has no copyright statement
on it and since it's published after 1923 and
before 1978, that means it's in the public domain.
http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/public_domain/
if i am remembering correctly from
previous emails with Gary Taylor at CGS,
all the pubs since the name change are copyrighted -
but please don't trust my memory on that -
take a look at them and see.
the website is copyrighted, at any rate.

attached mail follows:
Not too long ago I asked CGS about some of the more rare publication series of theirs which are in tatters and/or missing parts in our collection. I asked if they planned to scan and put pubs on line and was told flatly that they do not have time or staff. I offered to PAY for the scanning in order to have more complete sets of a couple of items - NO, couldn't do that either-
I do not know if anything has changed- I don't see any `free downloads' under the Bulletin series-
I believe they are covered by copyright so a library could not scan and put on web-

I should have mentioned that: there's nothing from California Division of mines in either the clearinghouse or the registry.

Hi Jim,
Have you checked the WAML Scanning Projects Clearinghouse, http://www.waml.org/clearinghouse.html
and the MAGERT Scanning Registry at
http://mapregistry.library.arizona.edu/cgi/index.pl
You probably have, but just in case... - Cynthia
