World Digital Library

Just found out about a new online resource, conceived by the US Library of Congress, that will soon be available - the World Digital Library. According to the site :

"The World Digital Library will make available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual format, significant primary materials from cultures around the world, including manuscripts, maps, rare books, musical scores, recordings, films, prints, photographs, architectural drawings, and other significant cultural materials."

Sounds like an amazing opportunity. The digital library will launch on the 21st April 2009.
