Contact the catalogue project
We welcome your observations, corrections, and questions. The catalogue is curated by a catalogue workflow, and your reports help improve the library for every reader.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us about any of the following:
- Metadata corrections — incorrect title, author, or publication details.
- Category placement — a book that seems misfiled among categories such as Crusades, Knights & Castles or Society, Manners & Change.
- 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 let us know.
- Accessibility problems — difficulty using the site or reading materials with assistive technology.
- Privacy questions — concerns about data handling or tracking where enabled.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction.
- General editorial observations — suggestions, comments on reading companions, or thoughts on the catalogue.
What to Include in Your Message
To help us address your message quickly, please include:
- The page URL where the issue appears.
- The exact ebook title (for example, Arqtiq: A Study of the Marvels at the North Pole or Les Misérables, v. 5/5: Jean Valjean).
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device or browser you were using.
- A clear description of the problem.
- Any supporting rights information if your message concerns copyright.
How We Handle Your Message
Each submission is reviewed by the catalogue project. Metadata corrections are verified against authoritative sources before being applied. Category placement suggestions are considered in light of the catalogue's classification system. File and reader issues are tested where possible. Accessibility reports are taken seriously and may lead to improvements in markup or alternative formats. Copyright concerns are evaluated on a case-by-case basis; we may remove or add a disclaimer to a title if warranted. Privacy questions are answered directly, and we do not share personal correspondence.
For general editorial observations, we appreciate hearing which reading companions you found useful or what additional titles you would like to see. While we cannot promise to act on every suggestion, your input helps shape the catalogue's development.
Distinguishing Between File Issues and Content Questions
If you experience a technical problem with a downloaded file—such as missing chapters, garbled text, or failure to open—please describe the device or reading application you used. For content-related questions about a book’s themes or historical context, you may find relevant discussion in the catalogue’s reading companions (for example, The Ghost in the Tower: An Episode in Jacobia — Context and Discussion or Hartmann, the Anarchist; Or, The Doom of the Great City — Inside the Classic). If the companion does not address your query, feel free to write; we may incorporate your insight into future revisions.
Editorial Address
Please send all correspondence to [email protected]. Messages are read by the catalogue project. We endeavour to review every message, though we cannot guarantee a specific response time.
Thank you for helping us maintain a trustworthy, accessible catalogue of classic literature.
