How to Reach the catalogue project
The Public Domain Literature Library is maintained by a small editorial team. We welcome observations, corrections, and questions that help us improve the catalogue. The best way to reach us is by email.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections — an inaccurate title, author name, or category placement; for example, if a work appears in the wrong thematic section such as 'Natural History & Evolution' when it belongs under 'Diaries, Letters & Life Stories'.
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- Accessibility concerns — missing alt text, poor contrast, or other barriers that make a work difficult to use. We strive to make our catalogue usable by all readers, and your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement.
- Privacy questions — inquiries about how we handle personal data, if any is collected. We take privacy seriously and will respond to specific concerns.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights you wish to discuss. Please note that we cannot provide legal advice, but we will review any evidence you provide.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for additional context, reading notes, or thematic groupings. For instance, if you have ideas for how a particular collection like 'The Works of the Emperor Julian' could be better introduced or categorized, we are glad to hear them.
What to Include
To help us act quickly, please include as many of the following details as are relevant:
- The exact page URL where the issue appears;
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device, operating system, or browser you were using;
- A clear description of the observed problem;
- If your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting information you can share, such as details about the original publication or your relationship to the work.
Our Email Address
Please send all editorial correspondence to [email protected]. This address is checked regularly, though we cannot guarantee an immediate reply. Every message is read and considered. If you do not receive a response within a reasonable time, you may follow up.
What We Cannot Do
We are a small independent operation. We do not offer technical support for third-party devices, cannot provide legal advice about public-domain status in specific countries, and do not accept unsolicited manuscripts or promotional materials. For such matters, please consult appropriate professionals.
Thank you for helping us keep the catalogue accurate and useful. Your input directly contributes to the quality of the library for all readers.
