The World Digital Library, last mentioned in a post on April 12, is now up and running as of yesterday: http://www.wdl.org/en/. This is a joint project of UNESCO and the Library of Congress. More details are avaiable here from The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/21/technology/21library.html?_r=1 and from the Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2009/09-082.html. Links to the World Digital Library and the LOC's "American Memory" (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html), a American forerunner to the WDL, have been added to the "Links" on the left-hand side of the blog. Check them out!
