The digital format that will be used for this project is a PDF file created by Acrobat Distiller. For books that have already been printed PDF files are usually created by scanning each page of the material.
Copyright - Many of the books and booklets within the scope of this project are not copyrighted and are in the public domain. However, should a book or booklet have a valid copyright, the project will seek to obtain permission to transfer the material into a digital format.
How to send materials
By Mail:
Original documents will be scanned and returned promptly to the original sender unless it is stipulated that the project can keep the material.
By E-Mail: jroche@bruyere.org
If you have the capability to scan documents yourself, the project will accept a PDF file of the book or booklet. We will also seek copyright permission for any material that requires it, before using the material in its entirety.
