This is marvelous! Thank you very much. I'm interested in the issues of copyright and the public domain which will hopefully help me work on Wikipedia history. -- Peter B. Meyer, Research economist, Office of Productivity and Technology, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (and Wikimedia DC) From: Members <members-bounces@lists.sigcis.org> On Behalf Of Rowberry, Simon via Members Sent: Friday, June 16, 2023 8:50 AM To: SIGCIS <members@sigcis.org> Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] New Publication: The Early Development of Project Gutenberg, c.1970-2000 Dear SIGCIS, I'm pleased to let you know that my latest book, The Early Development of Project Gutenberg, c.1970-2000, has been published as part of the Cambridge Elements in Publishing and Book Culture series: https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/early-development-of-project-gutenbe... Cambridge University Press will provide free access to the Element through that link until June 29th. In the book I re-examine the established narrative of Project Gutenberg's development beyond the often-hagiographic focus on Michael Hart's role as the founder, instead focusing on how the Project was a team effort that required legal and technical expertise to grow. While I mainly focus on the history of digital publishing and digitization, I tie this together with research from the history of computing and the emergence of the Internet which should be of interest to SIGCIS members. Best, Simon
