I would like to know if the following, plucked from the Zembla website, is
still true:

"Dmitri Nabokov still controls access to those Vladimir Nabokov Papers in
the Library of Congress donated by the author. According to the terms of the
Instrument of Gift signed by Vladimir Nabokov May 30, 1959, and by the
Librarian of Congress June 23, 1959, the author or his wife or son has
control of both access and copyright for fifty years, i.e. until June 23,
2009. At that point, the collection will be open and the as yet unpublished
Nabokov writings in it will be in the public domain."

Thanks,
Matt Roth
