Contact RORQO Catalogue
We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and collectors. Whether you have noticed an error, encountered a technical problem, or wish to share an observation about a particular work, your message helps us improve the catalogue for everyone.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections – an incorrect title, author attribution, or publication date;
- Category placement – a work that seems misclassified within our thematic sections such as Adventure Picaresque Fiction or Time Travel Speculative Futures;
- File quality – unreadable text, missing pages, garbled characters, or formatting that does not render properly;
- 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 – issues with screen-reader compatibility, poor contrast, or missing structural markup;
- Privacy questions – concerns about how your data is handled when using the site;
- Copyright or rights concerns – if you believe a work may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights that you wish to discuss;
- General editorial observations – suggestions for new categories, additional context for a particular work, or insights that could enrich our reading guides.
How to Report
To help us address your message efficiently, please include the following details where applicable:
- The exact page URL (web address) where the issue appears;
- The full title of the ebook, as listed in the catalogue;
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device, browser, or ereader software you were using;
- A clear description of the problem you observed;
- Any supporting information regarding rights or copyright status (if relevant).
If you are writing about a work in one of our series—such as Little Women; Or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy — Context and Discussion or The Land of Frozen Suns: A Novel — Inside the Classic—please mention the series title to help us locate the correct entry.
Our Editorial Address
Please send all correspondence to [email protected]. This address reaches our the catalogue project according to its available bibliographic records and subject scope. We read each submission carefully and will follow up if further information is needed.
What to Expect After You Write
We aim to acknowledge receipt of your message within a few business days. For straightforward metadata corrections or file issues, we may implement a fix promptly; for more complex matters—such as rights concerns or suggestions for new categories—we may take additional time to research and discuss internally. We do not send automated replies, so you can be assured that a human editor has read your note.
If you do not receive a response within two weeks, it is possible your message was filtered by a spam filter or misdirected. In that case, feel free to send a brief follow-up. We value every contribution and appreciate your patience.
Suggestions for the Catalogue
Beyond reporting problems, we welcome ideas that could make the library more useful. Perhaps you have a favourite public-domain work that you believe deserves a reading guide, or you have noticed a thematic connection between several titles that could form a new category. For instance, if you see parallels between works like Baby Jane's Mission and A Lame Dog's Diary that might fit a category on resilience, we would be glad to hear your reasoning. While we cannot promise to adopt every suggestion, we consider each one seriously.
We appreciate your interest in the Public Domain Literature Library and thank you for helping us maintain a reliable and thoughtful catalogue.
