Preserving our Christian Heritage since 2001.

This is a list of planned improvements to the site. Many of these are long term goals that may take many years to finish.
I plan on making every major English translation of the Bible available in the original spelling with complete footnotes, verse references, pictures and maps. Some of the planned Bibles are:
John Wyclif
William Tyndale
Coverdale's Bible
Matthew's Bible
Taverner's Bible
The Great Bible
The Geneva Bible [status: online here]
The Bishops' Bible
The Rheims-Douai Bible
The King James Bible [status: processing here]
The Webster Bible
The American Standard Version
etc.
As in the case of the King James Bible and the John Wyclif translation, I also would like to make the several major editions available.
I would also like to have Greek, Hebrew and Latin Bibles, with the different versions online. This will be more of a project because I am not familiar with these languages.
The Catholic Encyclopedia: A large and very handy source of information for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. All ready online in a copyrighted format, but some of the text is missing, and all the bibliographic information has been removed.
The Jewish Encyclopedia: Although it does not contain much of the recent history of the Jewish people I think it is important none the less. It already exists on the web in copyrighted form.
The Encyclopedia Britannica: Although not a religious work, it still contains a wealth of information. My particular concern is the 11th edition, with is the latest one in the public domain. Other editions will follow as time permits (I have a reprint of the 1st edition, and an almost complete 9th edition in my possession).
First Edition [status: processing here]
Eleventh Edition [status: processing here]
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language.
The Complete Works of Swedenborg. Although Swedenborg was a "New Christian" esoteric writer, his works are important because many New Age beliefs and possibly the Mormon faith are based on much of his writings.
Journal of Discourses. This is a 26 Volume set containing the teachings of early Mormon leaders Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Parley P. Pratt, Orson Pratt and John Taylor.
I would like to have several theology, ethics and philosophy journals available.
As you can see, the contents of this list are going to be very long term goals. It will probably take many years to complete this list.
