This file lists freely redistributable information that isn't software. Here are a few groups providing various books, historical documents, and more. Please let gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu or Free Software Foundation 675 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139-3309 know of additional entries or corrections. * FreeLore One goal of John Goodwin's FreeLore project is to create a core of useful, copylefted textbooks. He is currently testing a prototype curriculum, written in Texinfo, for junior-high school through early college. To volunteer, contact him at `jgoodwin@adcalc.fnal.gov'. * The Online Book Initiative The Online Book Initiative focuses on freely redistributable books, conference proceedings, reference material, catalogues, etc. OBI has about 400MB of (mostly compressed) text online, ranging from poetry to standards documents to novels. Anonymous FTP texts from `obi.std.com' in `/obi'. You can also dial `world.std.com' with a modem (617-739-9753, 8N1) and create an account to access this information (login as `new'). Accounts on `world' are charged for their connect time (ask `info@world.std.com' for details). * Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is the brainchild of Michael Hart. Professor Hart's hope for success derives from the nature of what he calls `Replicator Technology'. Once anything is stored in a computer, it can be reproduced indefinitely, making it available to all who want it. Texts from Project Gutenberg are available at a number of FTP sites, including `mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu' in file `/etext' and `oes.orst.edu' in file `/pub/almanac/etext'. To find out how to obtain text via e-mail, send the word `HELP' in the body of a message to `BITFTP%PUCC.BITNET@mitvma.mit.edu'. Or look at `bit.listserv.gutnberg', a USENET newsgroup. For more information, write to `dircompg@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu'.
