_must_ remain 1. accessible and 2. inviolate. The Gutenberg edition of _The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes_ was first released in 1999 and has gone through 12 revisions, the most recent being in 2002. Version 10 is still available at gutenberg.org, but I can't find any earlier versions (this is not a criticism; PG is not an archive, after all).
A brief explanation here of the historical edition numbering of PG texts. Every text was released initially in a version "10" (Think of that as 1.0) And then subsequent "editions" would be numbered 11, 12, etc. If you look hard enough in the pre-10,000 files, you can find a couple of exceptions, but that will cover most cases. Also note that the consensus that emerged was that a small number of minor corrections could be made without increasing the edition number. Andrew
