Google's role in preserving history




Google have come to an agreement with the Italians to digitise almost one million books!

I posted the article as it makes an interesting point, being digitalised the books are protected "forever" and can not fall victim to disasters;

Mario Resca of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage said the deal would help save the books' content forever, noting that the 1966 Florence flood ruined thousands of books in the city's library
