World Digital Library
Unesco and the Library of Congress will host a meeting to pave the way for the launch of a World Digital Library, an internet based repository of knowledge from all cultures and in all languages. The project will focus on digitising unique and rare material and making it available free on the internet. This materials include manuscripts, maps, books, musical scores, sound recordings, films, prints, photographs, and architectural drawings from libraries and other cultur¬al institutions around the world. A key aspect of the project is to build digital library capabilities in the developing world, so that all countries and parts of the world can participate and be represented in the World Digital Library.
