We join others in mourning the loss of Dr. Greg Newby, Project Gutenberg’s leader. We are indebted to @gutenberg.org 's essential and historic role to make published materials available online and to Greg's leadership for helping digital libraries evolve and thrive throughout the decades.
The Project Gutenberg community mourns the passing of our CEO, Dr. Greg Newby (@gbnewby).

Without his years of leadership, Project Gutenberg wouldn't be what it is today. Learn more about him and his contributions at
