When to write

You may find it useful to contact us in the following situations:

  • Metadata corrections — If a title, author name, category assignment, or description appears incorrect or incomplete. For example, a work like Africana; or, the heart of heathen Africa, Volume 1 (of 2) — A Reader’s Guide might have an author misspelling or an inaccurate publication date.
  • Source link or catalogue issues — If a Project Gutenberg source link is unavailable, or if a catalogue page contains a broken link or display problem, please let us know.
  • Accessibility concerns — If you encounter barriers related to screen readers, reflowable text, or other assistive technologies. We aim to ensure our ebooks are usable by all readers, and your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement.
  • Privacy questions — If you have questions about how we handle personal information or wish to exercise a data right. Our privacy practices are designed to respect your autonomy, and we are happy to clarify them.
  • Copyright or rights questions — If you believe a work in our catalogue may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss a specific title. Public domain status can vary by country, and we rely on readers to help us identify potential issues.
  • General editorial observations — Suggestions for new categories, reading notes, or contextual materials that could deepen the understanding of a particular work. For instance, you might propose a new reading companion for Social process — Context and Discussion or suggest additional context for The history of the condition of women in various ages and nations — A Closer Reading.

About AARYO

The Social Sciences collection at Aaryo Digital Library brings together 91 works spanning anthropology, ethnology, and social conditions. It includes seminal studies by W. E. B. Du Bois, Franz Boas, and Lydia Maria Child, covering topics such as race relations in the United States, women's social conditions, and the customs of Indigenous peoples. Representative titles examine African American farmers, rural churches, and the social fabric of the Southern States.

This curated selection also features works on the poor in Great Britain, the civilization of ancient societies, and the ethnography of India. Authors like Mayne Reid and John Wesley Powell contribute perspectives on social and moral questions. The collection offers a window into the social sciences as they developed between 1865 and 1918, with a focus on empirical observation and cultural analysis.
