ProjectGutenberg


Project Gutenberg aims to bring books (and other text-based stuff) to everyone in the world in a digital form.


From the horse's mouth....

"Project Gutenberg is the brainchild of Michael Hart, who in 1971 decided that it would be a really good idea if lots of famous and important texts? were freely available? to everyone in the world. Since then, he has been joined by hundreds of volunteers who share his vision. Now, more than thirty years later, Project Gutenberg has ...a total of 6267 Total Project Gutenberg eBooks."1


A page a day...

You can help out in a few spare minutes each day by helping to proof-read OCR scans of books before they get released as eBooks. Just check out the Distributed Proofreaders project.
