Distributed Proofreaders Canada

Distributed Proofreaders Canada (DP Canada) is a volunteer organization that transfers books into electronic format and releases them as public domain books in formats readable by electronic devices.

Distributed Proofreaders Canada was launched in December 2007 by David Jones and Michael Shepard.

Although it was established by members of the original Distributed Proofreaders site, it is a separate entity.

Notable Canadian authors whose books have been published include Stephen Leacock, L. M. Montgomery, E. T. Seton and Mazo de la Roche.

A. Milne, C. S. Lewis, Winston Churchill, E. E. Smith, Amy Carmichael, and Albert Camus.

Eligible books are chosen by members for publication based on personal interest and access.

Every book is vetted to ensure that the author and any other content provider such as illustrators and translators are in the public domain.

While in this phase, members of DP Canada are encouraged to download the books and read them.
