>As Project Gutenberg approaches it's 25th anniversary of being
>the first general Internet Information Provider, we are in the
>position of being in danger of losing our computer accounts at
>the University of Illinois.

>If you would like to see Project Gutenberg continue, please do

>Professor Harry Hilton  <hilton _at__ ux1.cso.uiuc.edu>
>[If you would be kind enough, please cc:  hart _at__ pobox.com]
>
>Harry will collate these messages an present them to President
>of the university James Stukel, to whom they may be addressed.
>
>Please keep them short, just say that you want to support this
>project and you think this is a worthwhile use of the computer
>systems at the University of Illinois.  It doesn't really cost
>much of anything to keep us on the system, it is that that the
>political climate here is such that we are in danger of having
>our accounts thrown out with the general cleanup of all people
>without the proper official connections; something we have had
>very little of during our 25 years of service, and which would
>not be easy to get.
>
>Particular attention will probably be paid to letters from the
>faculty, staff, and students of the various campuses of the UI
>and to residents of Illinois. . .so if you have any connection
>to the UI, or know anyone with such connections, it would help
>a lot if you could get them to send a note, even if they don't
>have email, you can forward us a copy; I know some of you from
>other states and countries want to be heard also, so I asked a
>favor of Professor Hilton, and your email will be included.

>Thank you so much!

>This month Project Gutenberg celebrates its 500th presentation
>of electronic books on the Internet, starting in 1971 with the
>United States' Declaration of Independence as the first etext,
>and as the first provider of general information files.  Books
>for this occasion include Pinoccio, Tom Swift, and, Rebecca of
>Sunnybrook Farm as well as the completed works of Robert Louis
>Stevenson [actually we are trying to figure out how to include
>his shortest works without wasting bandwidth]  In addition, we
>are taking a few more steps towards a complete works of Joseph
>Conrad, along with a dozen other books you will see below.
>
>You will see books up to #501 on this list, because we somehow
>lost books #416, 417 and 418, and have only been able to place
>new copies of 416 and 418 for download at this time, and we do
>not want mislead anyone about the actual number.  Of course by
>the time you receive this, there will probably be a few more--
>since we are now releasing approximately one book per day.
>
>If we manage to continue for another year we should be placing
>book #1000 online for you around this time next year, as we do
>still hope to double our production again next year, as we had
>planned to do every year until we reached #10,000 some time in
>the year 2001.
