World Digital Library Project Announced, Backed By Library Of Congress & Google
The United States Library of Congress has announced the creation of the World Digital Library today, a project that's also just received its first $3 million in funding from Google.
The concept behind the WDL is to use public and private money to create a virtual library giving anyone access to the world's "rare and unique cultural materials," according to a joint press release about the project from the Library of Congress and Google. Google is only the first of what's hoped will be many donors.
The collection now contains more than 10 million items that can be searched or browsed as a whole or via often powerful specialized search interfaces available via each collection.
