The copyrights of the Liahona magazine were held by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and/or Intellectual Reserve (wholly owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Copyright was not renewed on the 28th year of the date of publication on this early issue, which has therefore fallen into the public domain per US law.
