Digitizing the Past and Present at the Library of Congress

The Library of Congress has nearly 150 million items in its collection, including at least 21 million books, 5 million maps, 12.5 million photos and 100,000 posters. The largest library in the world, it pioneers both preservation of the oldest artifacts and digitization of the most recent--so that all of it remains available to future generations.

It's worth taking a peek at the gallery they've put together. I've worked on digitizing archives before, but nothing like the Gettysburg Address!
