Volunteers outside the USA: Theodore Schroeder's (d 1953), H. Kelly's (d 1953) and Anny Mali Hicks' (d 1954) work is still protected by copyright in places like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, UNLESS the rule of shorter term applies.
"Mother Earth was an American anarchist journal that described itself as "A Monthly Magazine Devoted to Social Science and Literature". Founded in early 1906 and initially edited by Emma Goldman, an activist in the United States, it published articles by contemporary activists and writers in Europe as well as the US, in addition to essays by historic figures." (Wikipedia) This is Volume 1 of the series. This is the third number of the magazine.
How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Walt Whitman and H Kelly died toward the end of the 19th century; their works are PD in the us.
For the remaining authors, such as Theodore Schroeder, who died in 1953, the copyright expires in 2023. Please be careful

You may want to put that in the first post just so that everyone sees it. Looks like a really fun project! I’ll keep an eye on t and might come back and read for it.

Thanks for the advice
and for your interest!
We have specific wording for these warnings which I can add for you. Just to clarify, this is PD in the U.S. based solely on its publication date. Authors' dates of death do not apply to U.S. readers. Readers outside the U.S. need to be cognizant of the individual authors' dates of death.

Thanks for the clarification Joe; I'll add that to the warning.
