Washington Post

quote:
The Library of Congress is launching a campaign today to create the World Digital Library, an online collection of rare books, manuscripts, maps, posters, stamps and other materials from its holdings and those of other national libraries that would be freely accessible for viewing by anyone, anywhere with Internet access.
I looked and didn't find a prior thread about this.

How cool!!!

Sweet, I can stop trying to do the paperwork for this someday. This'll be nice.

I don't think it's a part of this, but my advisor right now is trying to do something similar, digitizing the works of Albert the Great, which was last published, oh, about a hundred years ago.

I was supposed to proof the transcription, but I got beat out by some fancy new machine. [Mad]
