Working to improve the accuracy of reference
sources, both online and off!

Donate your used books |
|
Our research and educational efforts
are made possible through the generosity
of donors.
While Internet Accuracy Project possesses a
substantial private reference database, donations
of books are greatly appreciated. Donations of
biographies and autobiographies are always
welcome, no matter how old, or in what condition
they may be.
Internet Accuracy Project works to improve
the accuracy of the reference sources we all
rely on, both online and off. Our organization
is also dedicated to the free presentation
of thoroughly-vetted educational materials.
By donating biographies, autobiographies
and reference books you no longer need, you
enable the pertinent factual data they contain
to be utilized by our researchers and once
verified, made available to the widest possible
audience, entirely free of charge.
We would never want to discourage you from
donating books to your local library. Internet
Accuracy Project has no use for donations of
novels, children's books, screenplays, or
romance novels and encourages you to donate
these books to your local library. Donations
of reference books, biographies, and
autobiographies are another matter. Rather
than being of benefit to just a handful of
patrons at a local library, the data they
contain can assist thousands around the world.
Our research and educational efforts
are made possible through the generosity
of donors.
Keep in mind that the condition of
the books you donate is of no concern whatsoever.

that no one owns a United States copyright for these works. This
allows us to present these short stories and poems to the public,

Local county history accounts
Many county historical societies publish accounts
of local pioneer history with biographies of
prominent local individuals. We welcome the
donation of these publications, be they pioneer
history from 150 years ago, or a more recent
account of local county history. Internet Accuracy
Project also encourages the donation of genealogy
books offering in-depth details on prominent
individuals and their ancestors.
Historic Newspapers
We also welcome donations of historic newspapers (covering
major historical events or historic deaths). Even souvenir
copies of historic newspapers are welcome. Also, consider
donating surplus office supplies, old office furniture,
postage, and old computer equipment.
Government Documents
If you have access to biographical source info,
such as celebrity birth certificates, celebrity
death certificates, or marriage certificates
for individuals of accomplishment, please
consider sending us photocopies.
Internet Accuracy Project never discards donated goods,
even if they duplicate equipment we already have. All goods
are utilized in some way to support our organization.
Internet Accuracy Project is an all-volunteer
organization and our visitors are never charged
to read our content. Our site is completely free of

also means we are dependent on donations to continue
our pioneering efforts to improve the accuracy of
reference sources, both online and off.
Our future depends on your support. Help us make the
Internet a more accurate experience for all and stop
the spread of erroneous information, both online and off.
