LibriVox
LibriVox is a group of world-wide volunteers who read and record public domain texts creating free public domain audiobooks for download from (their website ) and other digital library hosting sites on the internet. It was founded in 2005 by Hugh McGuire to provide "Acoustical liberation of books in the public domain."〔"(LibriVox Author )", LibriVox website. Retrieved 16 April 2015.〕 As of April 2015 it had 8,664 items in its collection.〔"(Offerings LibriVox )", Archive website. Retrieved 17 April 2015.〕 Most releases are in the English language, but many non-English works are also available. There are multiple affiliated projects that are providing additional content. LibriVox is closely affiliated with Project Gutenberg, and the Internet Archive that hosts their offerings.
The LibriVox objective is "To make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet".〔"(Objective LibriVox )", LibriVox website. Retrieved 24 August 2011.〕
==History==
LibriVox was started in August 2005 by Montreal-based writer Hugh McGuire, who set up a blog, and posed the question. The first recorded book〔"(The Secret Agent )", librivox.org. Retrieved 31 March 2014.〕 was ''The Secret Agent'' by Joseph Conrad.
The main features of the way LibriVox works have changed little since its inception, although the technology that supports it has been improved by the efforts of its volunteers with web-development skills.
