Working on being granted back the copyright of an article that I published in1987. Don't know who owns the copyright - no (c) stamp on the paper and the journal is no longer published. According to the government records it is registered under the institute where I did my undergrad fellowship.
Emailed the institute director (who was a young postdoc in the lab at the time). Asking her to release the paper back to me under a cc-by. Hoping for an OAW gift from her in the form of "yes of course, dear" - Kubke
Finally got back from the Institute director - she says the institute now is a different legal entity of the one where I worked (changed name, etc) so need to chase someone from the old editorial board of the journal. Oh my. I am sure Queen Anne did not have this in mind. - Kubke
