Copyright Advice Needed

Much of this material was first copyrighted in the 1930s, making the
copyright more than 50 years old, which I seem to remember as a
magic number in copyright law.
I would be willing to put Hillcourt's material on a web site if someone
could figure out the copyright on old Scoutmaster Handbooks.
