A rough-and-ready list of some of the works that will (may?) move into the public domain this year.

Of course, as the page notes, this is necessarily tentative:

"The results above are based on a crude life+70 computation of copyright expiry (and associated entry into the public domain). This is almost certainly wrong for some jurisdictions and for some types of work. The Public Domain Calculators Project is actively working to produce jurisdiction-specific algorithms for precisely determining public domain status. Once complete this effort will be integrated into the calculations presented here."

But it still makes for an interesting skim.
