Volunteer - Add Information and Pictures about Authors and Composers

We've completed adding basic biographical information on most of our CCEL authors, but we are still working on adding biographical information for our Hymnary composers. Using information from a a Google search or from Wikipedia, rewrite the important facts into a short paragraph or two (give credit to the sources as appropriate), and submit it to our system. We would also like a picture of the CCEL author and composers when possible, and this could be emailed to us as an attachment.

If you are interested in helping us in this way, e-mail us and we will give you access to our Author Info editing system.

Example of Author Facts:

• Name: George Fox
• Dates: 1624 - 1691
• Significant Contributions: Founded the Quakers; wrote a well known autobiography

Example Paragraph:

George Fox - Founder of the Society of Friends (Quakers)

George Fox (1624 – 1691) was an English Dissenter and a major early figure — often considered the founder — of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as the Quakers. Living in a time of great social upheaval, he rebelled against the religious and political consensus by proposing an unusual and uncompromising approach to the Christian faith. His journal is a text popular even among non-Quakers for its vivid account of his personal journey. [Wikipedia]
