Welcome

The Philatelic Digital Library Project was conceived to work closely to the Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders and the Project Gutenberg to create, organize and preserve a philatelic literature collection.

All the books published by the project will follow Project Gutenberg's Standards, that is they will be available free of charge, for read and/or download via many mirrors in the world. Enjoy our ebooks!

If you are interesting and want to cooperate, join us and make the project evolves faster!

I notice the philatelic documents on Gutenberg do not show the stamp images. Is there a way to include images in the Gutenberg philatelic documents? Images of the stamps would increase the utility of these documents to stamp collectors. -- JoeMillo@yahoo.com
