Contact the catalogue project
We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. The best way to reach us is by emailing [email protected]. This address goes directly to The catalogue groups works according to its available bibliographic records and subject scope. He reads every message and appreciates detailed, constructive reports.
When to Write
You may want to contact us for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections – If you notice an incorrect title, author name, or publication date on a work page.
- Category placement – If a book seems misclassified (for example, a medieval text placed under “Adventure Picaresque Fiction” when it belongs in “Historical Psychological Social Fiction”).
- 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 a file is missing alt text, has poor contrast, or is otherwise difficult to navigate with assistive technology.
- Privacy questions – If you have concerns about how your data is handled while browsing the catalogue.
- Copyright or rights concerns – If you believe a work is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you are a rights holder with a legitimate claim.
- General editorial observations – Suggestions for new categories, missing works, or improvements to reading notes and companion materials.
What to Include in Your Message
To help us address your report quickly and accurately, please include as many of the following details as are relevant:
- The exact URL of the page in question.
- The title of the ebook as shown on the site.
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device or browser and its version (e.g., “iPadOS 17 Safari” or “Calibre 6.12 on Windows 11”).
- A clear description of the observed problem – what you expected and what actually happened.
- If your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting information that helps us evaluate the claim (such as the jurisdiction and the nature of your interest).
How We Handle Your Message
When you write to us, your email is read by the catalogue project. We treat all correspondence with discretion. For copyright or rights-related messages, we may need to consult external sources or seek legal advice before responding. For metadata or file issues, we typically investigate the reported problem and, if confirmed, correct it in the catalogue. If the issue is already known or appears to be a one-off anomaly, we may not send a personal reply but will still log the report.
What Not to Expect
We are a small independent operation and cannot guarantee a specific response time. We do not provide customer support by phone, live chat, or postal mail. Every legitimate report is read and considered, but we may not reply individually if the issue is straightforward or already known.
Before You Write
If you are reporting a file or display problem, you may wish to try downloading the ebook again or opening it in a different application. Some issues are caused by temporary network interruptions or by the reader software rather than by the file itself. If the problem persists, your detailed report will help us identify the cause.
Thank you for helping us keep the catalogue accurate, accessible, and respectful of intellectual property.
