What is Project Gutenberg?
'''Project Gutenberg''' (PG) is an online project that offers a digital archive of [[copyright]]-free [[e-book]]s in the [[public domain]]. It was started in [[1971]] by [[Michael S. Hart]]. The purpose of the Project is to collect in and make available cultural work (like [[book]]s) using computers. These are generally free and may be used on most [[computer]]s. The project gets its name from [[Johannes Gutenberg]], a [[Germany|German]] publisher who made the first [[Europe]]an [[printing press]] in 1439. As Project Gutenberg continued to grow, in [[2000]], the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, Inc. was created. It is a non-profit organization with main office in [[Mississippi]], [[United States]]. == Other websites == * [http://www.gutenberg.org/ Official website] {{lit-stub}} {{authority control}} [[Category:E-books]] [[Category:Non-profit organizations of the United States]] [[Category:20th-century establishments in Mississippi]] [[Category:1971 establishments in the United States]]
