* Article about using Project Gutenberg as a primary source for research
Here is a short article of potential interest, "Use Project Gutenberg for Research" by Kyle R. Morgan:
https://write2ignite.com/2023/06/12/project-gutenberg-as-a-research-tool/
In just a few paragraphs, if describes the utility of the Project Gutenberg collection as a primary source for research. The author stresses the importance of going back to the original writings from historical works like those in Project Gutenberg.
This article highlights part of why Project Gutenberg exists: Not only for reading enjoyment, enlightenment and education, but also to ensure historical works remain available.
This is an important aspect of the "right to read" precept, which is a cornerstone of the Project Gutenberg collection development policy online at:
