How to Reach the catalogue project
We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. The best way to contact us is by emailing [email protected]. This address reaches The catalogue groups works according to its available bibliographic records and subject scope.
When to Write
You may wish to get in touch for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections — if you notice an incorrect title, author, publication date, or category placement. For example, a book listed under “Young Readers Enchanted Adventures” that seems better suited to “Nations, Peoples & the Past” can be flagged for review.
- 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 — if you encounter barriers using assistive technology, such as missing alt text, poor contrast, or navigation difficulties.
- Privacy questions — inquiries about how we handle personal data, if any is collected, or requests related to your privacy.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss a title.
- General editorial observations — thoughtful comments about a reading companion, such as the notes for Beric the Briton or The Winning of Barbara Worth, or suggestions for future additions.
What to Include in Your Message
To help us address your report efficiently, please provide as much of the following as is relevant:
- The exact page URL where the issue appears.
- The full title of the ebook (e.g., Gaut Gurley; Or, the Trappers of Umbagog or December Love).
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device or browser and its version (e.g., Chrome 120 on Windows 11, or a specific e-reader model).
- A clear description of the problem you encountered.
- Any supporting information about rights or edition details, if applicable.
What to Expect
We read every message and consider each report carefully. Because we are a small independent catalogue, we cannot guarantee a specific response time or that every reported issue will be resolved. We are grateful for your help in keeping the collection accurate and useful.
Additional Guidance for Specific Inquiries
When contacting us about file issues, it can be helpful to describe whether the problem occurs during download, on a particular device, or within a specific reading application. For metadata corrections, mentioning the source you consulted (such as a library catalogue or scholarly edition) can assist our review. If you are writing about copyright concerns, please indicate the jurisdiction you are referring to, as public-domain status may vary from country to country. Accessibility reports are especially valuable when they include the assistive technology you rely on and the specific barrier you encountered.
We also welcome suggestions for new categories or thematic groupings that might better serve readers. For instance, if you have ideas for works that could complement the existing collection, such as titles similar to Amelia or Barriers Burned Away, feel free to share them. While we cannot promise to adopt every suggestion, each one is reviewed with care.
Scope of Our Response
the catalogue maintenance uses source records and bibliographic context. We do not provide legal advice, interpret copyright law for specific jurisdictions, or offer technical support for third-party software. If your inquiry falls outside our scope, we will try to point you toward appropriate resources when possible.
Thank you for supporting independent digital libraries and the preservation of public-domain literature.
