The British Library Launches Large Image Digitization Project
From the article, “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.”

“A new service offers easy access to thousands of unique and unusual images from the illuminated manuscripts, archive photographs, maps and engravings held by the British Library. Images Online (www.bl.uk/imagesonline) enables users to search thousands of items from Library collections and currently contains around 8,000 images, ranging from medieval depictions of witchcraft to Lewis Carroll’s original drawings for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”
