Google Donates $3M to Help Scan More Rare Documents
An AP newswire article by Michael Leidtke, via USA Today, reports that:
Google is giving $3 million to the U.S. Library of Congress to help set up a system for creating digital copies of rare documents from around the world — the latest step in Google's crusade to expand the amount of information that can be indexed by its Internet-leading search engine.
With the donation announced Tuesday, Google becomes the first business to back the "World Digital Library," a concept that began to take shape about five months ago.
The worldwide program is loosely modeled after the Library of Congress' American Memory project launched 11 years ago.
