Le Projet Gutenberg (1971-2005)
Produced by Al Haines
"Le Projet Gutenberg (1971-2005)" by Marie Lebert is an informative account detailing the history and development of the Gutenberg Project, a pioneering digital library. Written in the early 21st century, this book chronicles the progress of an initiative founded in the early 1970s aimed at digitizing, archiving, and distributing cultural works for free access worldwide. The primary topic revolves around the project’s evolution, significant milestones, and its impact on ensuring accessibility to literary works in the public domain. This book provides an in-depth look at the journey of the Gutenberg Project, starting with Michael Hart's initial vision in 1971 when he digitized the Declaration of Independence. It follows the project's expansions over the decades, highlighting pivotal moments such as the establishment of the Distributed Proofreaders for collaborative proofreading and the shift to multilinguism as the project grew. With a goal of creating a collection of one million eBooks by 2015, Lebert emphasizes the importance of public domain literature and the ongoing challenges posed by copyright laws. It also illustrates the transformative power of technology on the availability of literature, enabling broader access for all, regardless of geographical or economic barriers.
