Checking live catalogues…

Fresh-search sources — each new search requests current records rather than relying on a fixed list.

  • Gutendex / Project Gutenberg: books, including U.S. public-domain catalogue evidence; not a UK copyright certification.
  • Wikimedia Commons: art, comics, film, and sound files with file-level licence labels. Check each file description.
  • Open Library: book discovery only. Bibliographic data does not prove adaptation rights.

Searches are refreshed on demand and approximately every 15 minutes while this page stays open. External services may be unavailable, slow, or incorrect. Copyright legislation is not checked automatically.

Know the difference: a catalogue entry is evidence, not legal permission. A free scan or old publication date does not automatically clear underlying stories, translations, art, performances or recordings.
