Congrats and kudos to the Footnote.com team! That’s a lot of scanning.

After nearly seven months, we’ve hit the 14 million mark and continue to add documents at a pace of more than 2 million a month. As a comparison: According to Agence France-Presse, the Library of Congress has digitized 11 million documents in 12 years (as of April 2007).

More about Footnote and their many services both free (lots of cool stuff) and fee-based in this post.
