About ReadTheMasters

ReadTheMasters publishes AI transcriptions and translations of landmark public-domain mathematics and physics texts, rendered as clean LaTeX, with the original source always cited.

Our goals:

• Revive historic works as faithful, reusable LaTeX transcriptions and readable translations.
• Publish only public-domain texts — verified by an automated, sourced copyright check that applies both the author’s-death rule (life + 70) and the US 95-year publication rule.
• Keep the whole corpus open (CC0).

Every text carries a quality status — from AI draft (machine output, not yet human-checked) through skimmed (a quick pass) to verified (a full, rigorous check against the source) — and records which AI model produced it. Nothing hides how it was made.

The project is community-powered: contributors run the transcription and translation pipeline on their own AI accounts and submit the results for review. See Contribute.
