Contact the catalogue project
Historical Children’s Library is a small independent catalogue of public-domain literature. Your observations help keep the collection accurate and usable. We welcome correspondence on any of the following matters.
Corrections and Metadata
If you notice an incorrect title, author attribution, or category placement — for example, a book shelved under “Childrens Adventures” that belongs in “Young Readers” — please let us know. We also appreciate reports of missing or misleading descriptions, such as those on pages like A sailor boy with Dewey — Themes and Context or William—the good — Themes and Context. Even small inconsistencies — a misspelled name, a wrong publication date, or a misattributed illustration — are worth flagging. The catalogue draws on multiple source texts, and occasional errors may slip through. Your careful eye helps us correct them.
File and Reading Issues
Ebooks are offered in several formats. If a file is unreadable, displays garbled text, or fails to open on your device or browser, describe the problem in detail. Include the ebook title, the format you attempted (e.g., EPUB, PDF), and the device or browser you were using. For example, a report might read: “In the hollow of His hand — Context and Discussion in EPUB format shows blank pages on Firefox for Android.” Problems may also arise with embedded images, missing page numbers, or inconsistent font rendering. Any detail you can provide about the reading environment — screen reader, tablet, e-ink device — helps us reproduce and resolve the issue.
Accessibility
We strive to make our catalogue accessible. If you encounter barriers — such as poor contrast, missing alt text, or navigation difficulties with assistive technology — please describe the issue and the tools you use. Your feedback helps us improve for all readers. Specific examples, like a heading that is not announced by your screen reader or a link that is hard to tab to, are especially valuable. We are committed to following established accessibility guidelines and welcome suggestions for improvement.
Privacy and Copyright
Questions about our privacy practices or concerns about copyright or rights status are taken seriously. If you believe a work is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a text you believe appears without permission, provide the relevant details: the title, the URL of the page, and any supporting information. We will review promptly. Please note that copyright laws vary by country; a work that is public domain in one jurisdiction may not be in another. We rely on reputable sources for rights determination but welcome corrections where our information may be incomplete.
General Editorial Observations
We also welcome general comments about the catalogue — suggestions for new categories, thoughts on the reading notes for Three little Trippertrots on their travels — Inside the Classic, or reflections on the themes in Fanciful tales — A Reader’s Guide. All correspondence is read with care. If you have ideas for additional context essays, comparative readings, or thematic groupings, we would be glad to hear them. The catalogue is a living project, and reader input shapes its direction.
