How to Reach EGUVI Catalogue
We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers and researchers. Whether you have noticed an error in a title or author attribution, encountered a file that does not display correctly, or wish to raise a question about rights or privacy, the editorial office is the appropriate place to direct your message.
Common Reasons to Write
Our catalogue contains thousands of digitised works spanning art, architecture, design, and cultural history. Maintaining accuracy and readability requires attentive readers. Below are the most frequent subjects readers write about — each helps us improve the library for everyone.
- Metadata corrections — misattributed authors, incorrect titles, missing subtitles, or wrong category placement (e.g., a work on Renaissance architecture filed under a general art category when it belongs in architecture). A single corrected field can make a work discoverable to a researcher who might otherwise never find it.
- 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 text lacks structural headings, alternative text for images, or other features that would make it usable with assistive technology. We are committed to improving accessibility where possible, and specific reports are far more helpful than general statements.
- Privacy questions — concerns about personal data that may inadvertently appear in a digitised work, or questions about how the catalogue handles reader information where any collection is used. We take privacy seriously and will investigate any such report promptly.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in the catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a work and wish to discuss its inclusion. We respect copyright law and will review any valid claim carefully.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for additional background essays, corrections to introductory notes, or ideas for future additions that align with the existing collection. For example, a reader recently pointed out that a volume on British marine painting would benefit from a companion essay on the artists featured; we are now preparing one.
What to Include in Your Report
To help us investigate efficiently, please provide as many of the following details as are relevant:
- the exact page URL (the web address of the ebook or catalogue entry);
- the full title of the work as it appears on the site;
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- the device or browser you were using when you encountered the problem;
- a clear description of the observed problem — what you expected and what actually happened;
- if your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting documentation or information that helps us understand the claim.
Including these details from the start often allows us to resolve an issue in a single exchange. If you are unsure what to include, a brief description is still welcome; we may follow up with specific questions.
Where to Send Your Message
