Reading up on the renewal laws it seems like everything from before 1964, except for things already renewed, are already public domain. Basically everything from 1964 onward is copyrighted for 95 years.

this is not entirely true

the current cut-off year is 1923, and that will change for the first time in decades on January 1st, when it becomes 1924

anything released after 1923 that's in the public domain is there either because it was released that way or its copyright wasn't renewed

From what I have read it seems like only 15% of things from before 1964 were renewed.
