Distributed Proofreaders
Register today and volunteer at Distributed Proofreaders. Distributed Proofreaders was founded in 2000 by Charles Franks to support the digitization of Public Domain books. Originally conceived to assist Project Gutenberg (PG), Distributed Proofreaders (DP) is now the main source of PG e-books. In 2002, Distributed Proofreaders became an official PG site. In May 2006, Distributed Proofreaders became a separate legal entity and continues to maintain a strong relationship with PG. In conjunction with PG, DP provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books. By dividing the workload into individual pages, many volunteers coordinated by DP can work on a book at the same time, which significantly speeds up the creation process. Register today and volunteer to proofread as much or as little as you like.
