British Library Releases Its “Digitisation Strategy 2008-2011″
Digitisation Strategy 2008-2011.
Over the next 3 years we will build on our existing digitisation programme. Current projects include the digitisation of:
- 20 million pages of 19th century literature [approximately 80,000 books];
- 1 million pages of historic newspapers in addition to the 3m already digitised;
- 4,000 hours of Archival Sound Recordings in addition to the 4,000 hours already digitised;
- 100,000 pages of Greek manuscripts.
Our top priority digitisation programme in support of the Library’s corporate strategy 2008-2011 is the digitisation of newspapers.
