British Library Launch Their Biggest Ever Digitisation Programme
The British Library have launched their biggest ever digitisation programme for a new website called 'In Place'. The site will go online on May 21st and by 2004 you'll be able to see and hear 100,000 images and sounds from BL's world-renowned collections - without ever coming to London.
The Library's curators are carefully selecting the maps, manuscripts and topographical illustrations that chart the changing face of Britain and her people. It's not just about books either: they're also choosing photographs, rare sound recordings, and even long forgotten advertisements and music hall songs.
