We welcome your correspondence

Travel & Geography Archive is maintained by a small editorial team. We appreciate thoughtful reports that help us improve the catalogue for all readers. Below are the kinds of matters you may wish to bring to our attention, along with guidance on what to include so that we can address your message efficiently.

What to report

• Metadata corrections – If you notice an incorrect title, author attribution, or category placement (for example, a work that appears under “Travel and Geographic Discovery” but belongs elsewhere), please let us know.
• File or reading issues – Unreadable files, garbled text, missing illustrations, or problems with a specific ebook format (EPUB, PDF, Kindle, etc.) on your device or browser.
• Accessibility problems – Difficulties with screen-reader compatibility, poor contrast, missing alt text, or other barriers that affect your ability to use the catalogue.
• Privacy questions – Inquiries about how we handle personal data, cookies, or any tracking that may be present on the site.
• Copyright or rights concerns – If you believe a work in our collection is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a text and wish to discuss its removal, please provide relevant details.
• General editorial observations – Suggestions for new additions, contextual notes, reading companions, or other improvements to the catalogue.

How to structure your message

To help us act quickly, please include as much of the following as is relevant:

• The exact page URL where you encountered the issue.
• The full title of the ebook (and author, if applicable).
• The file format you were using (e.g., EPUB, PDF, MOBI, TXT).
• The device, browser, or reading software you were using (including version numbers if known).
• A clear description of the observed problem: what you expected, what happened instead, and any error messages.
• If your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting information you are able to share (such as your relationship to the work, publication history, or jurisdiction).

Our editorial address

Please send all correspondence to [email protected]. This address is monitored by William Conan, Collection Editor. We read every message, but due to the volume of inquiries we may not be able to respond individually. Rest assured that reports are reviewed and, where appropriate, acted upon.

Additional guidance for specific types of reports

When reporting a file or reading issue, it can be helpful to mention whether the problem occurs with a single format or across multiple formats. For example, a work like Travels and discoveries in North and Central Africa, Vol. 5 (of 5) may display correctly in EPUB but have garbled text in PDF. Similarly, if you encounter missing illustrations in a richly illustrated volume such as Modern Whaling & Bear-Hunting, specifying which images are absent helps us investigate.

For accessibility problems, we are particularly interested in feedback on screen-reader navigation, heading structure, and alternative text for images. If you use assistive technology and find that a specific reading companion or edition insight page is difficult to navigate, please describe the obstacles you encounter.

If your message concerns a copyright or rights question, please indicate the jurisdiction you are writing from, as public-domain status can vary by country. We take such inquiries seriously and will review any evidence you provide.

What happens after you write

We aim to acknowledge receipt of your message within a reasonable period, though we cannot guarantee a personal reply to every inquiry. Reports that are clear and well-structured can be processed more quickly. Corrections to metadata or file issues are typically addressed in the next catalogue update. For copyright concerns, we will evaluate the information and respond with our decision.

Travel & Geography Archive is an independent, reader-supported catalogue. Your feedback helps us maintain a reliable and accessible resource for explorers of classic travel and geographic literature.
