## History

Project Gutenberg was founded in 1971, and his since been the leader in providing free ebooks over the Web. Eric Hellman proposed an idea to the Stevens Insitute of Technology Senior Design class of serving this content offline on a platform known as Internet in a Box.

The group working on the project that became known as "Project Gutenberg in a Box," discovered an existing platform known as Kiwix. Kiwix is an offline browser developed by Emmanuel Englehart and Renaud Gaudin in 2007, built for serving ZIM content. The Kiwix team had an ongoing project which served Project Gutenberg content over a ZIM, so the Project Gutenberg in a Box team decided to contribute this project instead of pursuing their own.
