Hi,
My name is
Copthorne ("Cop") Macdonald
and back in 1995 I created The Wisdom Page to provide
Internet access to wisdom-related resources. The "Us"
in "About Us" refers to the many contributors who have
so generously made their materials available to others through The
Wisdom Page, and to the
Wisdom
Page Advisory Board
Anne Adams

Over
the years, the contributors, Board members, and I have worked together
to increase the site's impact,
and we've been making progress. As indicated in the Wikipedia article
titled The
Wisdom Page, the site has become a serious source of information
about wisdom for not only the general public, but also for writers
and academic researchers.
As
I write this, a Google search for the single word "wisdom"
returns about 79 million pages. The Wisdom Page is consistently
near the top of those 79 million, usually on the first page of the
search returns. This makes it an easy-to-reach destination for individuals
searching for information on wisdom. Each month the website is visited
some 12,500 times by 7000+ unique visitors from more than 130 countries.
More than 200 repeat visitors have signed up to receive monthly
newsletters telling them about the latest additions to the site.
Many others, via automatic RSS feed, receive those updates the day
they occur. Also each month, more than 24,000 requests for electronic
documents (including wisdom-related doctoral dissertations and free
eBook editions of my wisdom-related books)
are successfully filled. For more information on the development
of The Wisdom Page, both in content and popularity, click Evolution
of The Wisdom Page.
Suggestions
for additions to the site (documents, links, audio, or video materials)
are appreciated, but only those considered appropriate to the theme
of the site and useful to visitors will be used. Links to The
Wisdom Page from other sites are also appreciated, but The
Wisdom Page doesn't "trade links." Create a link to
The Wisdom Page if you feel it would be helpful to your site's
visitors.
