Film Project Gutenberg

"The greatest story ever written, now on film"

Here is the trap that catches 90% of amateur archivists. A film from 1925 might have a public domain visual component, but the musical score attached to a DVD release might be copyrighted.

Over the years, Project Gutenberg has grown exponentially, with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers, known as "Gutenbergites." These volunteers work tirelessly to digitize and proofread e-books, ensuring that the texts are accurate and free of errors. The project's growth has been remarkable, with the collection expanding from a few hundred e-books in the 1970s to over 60,000 e-books today. "The greatest story ever written, now on film"
