Contact the catalogue project
We welcome your observations, corrections, and questions. The catalogue is maintained by a small editorial team, and every message helps improve the collection for all readers.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us about any of the following:
- Incorrect metadata — a title, author, or contributor name that appears wrong in a listing.
- Category placement — an ebook that seems misfiled among the Sacred Texts or History, Empires & Change sections.
- Source link or catalogue issues — If a Project Gutenberg source link is unavailable, or if a catalogue page contains a broken link or display problem, please send us the ebook title, the catalogue page URL, and a short description of the issue.
- Accessibility problems — difficulty using the catalogue with screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technology.
- Privacy questions — inquiries about how we handle personal data, if any is collected.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in the catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss a listing.
- Editorial observations — suggestions for new additions, contextual notes, or general feedback on the catalogue.
What to Include
To help us address your report efficiently, please include as many of the following details as are relevant:
- The exact URL (web address) of the page where you noticed the issue.
- The full title of the ebook, and the author if applicable.
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device or browser you were using (e.g., iPhone, Chrome, Firefox).
- A clear description of the problem you observed.
- If your message concerns copyright, any supporting information about your rights or the work’s status.
How to Reach Us
Please send all correspondence to the editorial address: [email protected]. This mailbox is checked regularly, and we read every message. While we cannot guarantee a personal reply to each submission, we do act on reports that improve the catalogue.
Understanding Our Response
Because the catalogue is a volunteer-curated project, we prioritize reports that affect the widest number of readers. A single correction to a title or author name, for example, benefits everyone who browses that listing. Reports about file corruption or missing pages are also addressed promptly, as they directly affect the reading experience. We may not be able to respond individually to every suggestion for new additions, but we do review each one and consider it for future updates.
Contacting Us About Copyright
If you believe that a work in the catalogue infringes your copyright, or if you have information about a work’s public-domain status in a particular jurisdiction, please include the specific jurisdiction and any relevant legal context. We take such concerns seriously and will review the listing promptly. Please note that public-domain status varies by country; a work may be freely available in one region but not in another. We rely on readers to help us navigate these differences.
Accessibility Feedback
We strive to make the catalogue usable for all readers. If you encounter barriers—such as unlabeled images, poor contrast, or navigation that is difficult with a keyboard—please describe the issue in detail. This helps us improve the underlying structure of the site and the formatting of individual ebooks. We are particularly interested in feedback from users of screen readers, Braille displays, or other assistive technologies.
General Correspondence
Beyond specific reports, we are glad to hear from readers who have appreciated a particular work, discovered a new connection between texts, or simply wish to share how the catalogue has been useful. While we cannot promise a personal reply to every message, such notes are a meaningful part of maintaining a thoughtful digital library.
Thank you for helping us maintain a reliable and thoughtful digital library.
