At the recent Online Reference Resources program held at WMRLS, our discussion of outstanding developments in digital technology prompted the sharing of two spectacular websites.The British Library has scanned nearly a dozen books from their collection and you can actually “turn the pages” and hear the text of these rare works as well as use a magnifying glass to more closely examine these gems! Visit their site at http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html
And at http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/ the Theban Mapping Project has taken years of research and made it available digitally, including 3-D tours of ancient tombs in Thebes and other archaeological wonders! Check it out! Thanks Anna Popp, West Springfield Public Library.
