This template is similar to {{PD-Scan}} but allows you to specify two tags, one for the reason the work is public domain in the source country and one for the reason it is public domain in the United States. For example, if the work was published before 1929 and the author died at least 75 years ago, you would use:

{{PD-Scan-two|PD-old-75||PD-US-expired|}}

More examples

  • A photograph of a 1911 English work whose author died in 1925 may be tagged {{PD-Scan-two|PD-old-70||PD-US-expired|}}.
  • A photograph of a Canadian photograph created prior to 1949 may be tagged {{PD-Scan-two|PD-Canada||PD-1996|}}.

Where possible, prefer PD-US-expired to PD-1996, because it is simpler. If the work is not in the public domain in the US due to the URAA, do not use PD-Scan-two; instead use {{PD-Scan}} combined with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}, like in this example:

  • An English work whose author died in 1935 may be tagged {{PD-Scan|PD-old-70}} {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}

Usage

{{PD-Scan-two |1= |2= |3= |4= }}
