How to Reach COALH Catalogue
We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. Your observations help us maintain a trustworthy catalogue of public-domain literature.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections — if you notice an incorrect title, author attribution, or category placement (for example, a book shelved under Journeys into the Unknown that belongs in Historical Psychological Social Fiction).
- File or reading problems — an unreadable file, garbled text, missing illustrations, or a format that fails to open on your device or browser.
- Accessibility issues — if a file is not compatible with screen readers, lacks structural markup, or presents other barriers.
- Privacy questions — inquiries about how we handle personal information, if any is collected.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss a listing.
- General editorial observations — suggestions, corrections, or reflections on our reading notes and context pieces, such as those for The River of Darkness; Or, Under Africa or One Man's Initiation—1917.
What to Include
To help us address your report efficiently, please provide as many of the following details as are relevant:
- The exact URL (web address) of the page in question.
- The full title of the ebook (e.g., The Tinted Venus: A Farcical Romance).
- The file format you are using (EPUB, PDF, HTML, etc.).
- The device, browser, or reading software you were using when the problem occurred.
- A clear description of the observed problem — what you expected and what happened instead.
- If your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting information you are able to share (jurisdiction, publication history, etc.).
Our Email Address
Please send all editorial correspondence to: editor@coalh.com
This address is monitored by our the catalogue project criticism and modern essay collections. While we read every message, we may not be able to respond individually to each one. We appreciate your understanding.
What We Do Not Provide
We do not offer phone support, a physical mailing address, or a contact form. This email is the sole verified channel for reaching COALH Catalogue. We do not guarantee a specific response time, but we endeavour to review all reports promptly.
Correspondence Etiquette
When writing, a concise subject line helps us route your message quickly. For example, “Metadata correction — Cousin Henry” or “Accessibility issue — Shadows of Shasta.” If your message relates to a specific reading guide, such as the one for Katie Robertson, mentioning that in the subject line can be helpful.
We also appreciate it when correspondents check whether a similar report has already been submitted; however, duplicate reports do not cause any harm and may be merged with existing notes.
Scope of Our Response
the catalogue workflow checks each message and will act on verified corrections and actionable reports. For copyright inquiries, we may ask for additional documentation or refer you to relevant resources. For general feedback or suggestions, we read every note but may not reply unless further clarification is needed.
Thank you for helping us keep the Public Domain Literature Library a reliable resource for readers everywhere.
