Our Mission
We collect, organize, and preserve literary works that are lawfully available for public access.
Texts are carefully reviewed, corrected, and presented in a modern online format designed for comfortable reading.
Our goal is to make literature easier to discover and read while respecting copyright and the rights of authors, translators, publishers, and other rights holders.
Legal Principles
LitArchive publishes works that are in the public domain or otherwise made available on a lawful basis.
Copyright duration and public-domain status can vary depending on the jurisdiction, the type of work, the date of publication, and the lives of the authors, translators, and other contributors.
Before publication, we aim to evaluate the legal status of each work and the materials associated with it, including translations, illustrations, editions, and editorial content.
We also respect international copyright principles established by agreements such as the Berne Convention and the TRIPS Agreement.
Rights holders who believe that material has been published incorrectly may contact us so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action can be taken.
