Happy Public Domain Day 2026!

Each January 1st is Public Domain Day, when a new crop of works have their copyrights expire and become free to share and reuse for any purpose. Here's our highlights for 2026.

The Public Domain Review

many classics on @gutenberg_org are now available as #audiobooks too thanks to @microsoft using #AzureAI (https://www.microsoft.com/en/customers/story/1646266241611394912-project-gutenberg-nonprofit-azure-synapse-analytics-azure-ai-services).

My pick: P.G. Wodehouse’s "The Inimitable Jeeves" is free to read and listen to: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/26579/26579_index.html #PublicDomainDay

The oldest digital library and a leading distributor of free eBooks, Project Gutenberg wanted to make its collection more accessible to a broader community of members, including people who have visual impairments and those around the world who might not have access to traditional libraries. To achieve this goal, the organization collaborated with Microsoft on an AI-driven solution to create audiobooks at scale, creating nearly 5,000 new audio books.
