Project Gutenberg, which puts a lot of public doamin stuff online
notes:

"Some books published before 1964, and whose copyright was not renewed,
are in the public domain."
<http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Copyright_FAQ#C.9._How_does_a_copyright_lapse.3F>

They also have this much longer FAQ:

If it can be put online, a good place would be here: http://fanac.org/
