Contact the Editor
Modern History Library welcomes your observations and questions. Whether you have noticed an error in a title or author attribution, wondered about the placement of a work within a category, encountered a file that will not open or display correctly, or wish to discuss a rights or copyright concern, the editor is glad to hear from you.
What to Report
You may contact us about any of the following:
- Metadata corrections – incorrect title, author, date, or other bibliographic details.
- Category placement – a book that seems misfiled among the catalogue’s sections, such as Revolutions or Social History.
- File or reader failures – an ebook that fails to download, displays garbled text, or causes your reading application to crash.
- Accessibility problems – difficulty navigating a file with assistive technology, missing alt-text for illustrations, or other barriers.
- Privacy questions – inquiries about how your data is handled when you use the site.
- Copyright or rights concerns – if you believe a work in the catalogue may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights you wish to discuss.
- General editorial observations – suggestions for new additions, thematic connections, or other thoughtful remarks.
How to Write
To help us respond accurately, please include as many of the following details as possible:
- The page URL where the item appears.
- The exact title of the ebook (for example, My country's part — Themes and Context or The early court of Queen Victoria — Context and Discussion).
- The file format you are using (EPUB, PDF, Kindle, etc.).
- The device or browser and its version (e.g., “Firefox 115 on Windows 11” or “iPadOS 17, Books app”).
- A clear description of the observed problem.
- If the matter involves copyright or rights, any supporting information you can share.
Reaching the Editor
Please send your message to editor@uhuqu.com. The Editorial Team Uhuqu, Literary Critic, reviews each submission personally. While we aim to acknowledge every message, we cannot guarantee a specific response time. Your care in providing thorough details helps us address your concern more efficiently.
A Note on Scope
Modern History Library is an independent catalogue of public-domain literature. We do not sell books, host user accounts, or manage subscriptions. Our contact is intended for editorial and rights-related correspondence only. For technical issues unrelated to the catalogue’s content, please consult your device or software documentation.
What Happens After You Write
When your message arrives, the editor reads it and, where appropriate, investigates the catalogue entry or file in question. If the matter concerns a metadata error, the correction is made and the entry updated. For file or accessibility issues, the editor may test the ebook on different devices or consult the source text. In copyright or rights discussions, the editor reviews the evidence you provide and, if necessary, removes or reclassifies the work from public access in relevant jurisdictions. You will receive a reply once the review is complete, though the complexity of the issue may affect timing.
We value thoughtful correspondence and treat each message with attention. Please understand that the editor manages the catalogue alone, and responses may sometimes be brief but are always sincere. If you do not receive a reply within a reasonable period, you are welcome to follow up. Repeated messages about the same issue are not necessary and may delay attention to other inquiries.
Examples of Useful Reports
To illustrate the kind of detail that helps us most, here are two examples:
- A reader notices that the author of A brief history of the Tenth Michigan Cavalry — Text and Context is listed incorrectly. They send the correct author name, along with the page URL and a source for the correction. The editor verifies the information and updates the metadata.
- A user with a screen reader reports that the EPUB version of The Highland glen — Reading Companion has missing alt-text for its illustrations. They describe which images lack descriptions and note the reading software used. The editor adds alt-text and notifies the user when the file is updated.
These examples are not exhaustive but show how specific information leads to efficient resolution.
