Comments
The format of this presentation is a balance of power point slides and URL links to show demonstrations of the aforementioned topics. I have headed up the Global Digital Operations at the Internet Archive since 2005. We have had the honor of working with many great institutions (Library of Alexandria, Library of Congress, Harvard and many institutions both large and small. We feel that every item we have digitized has value to a user somewhere; be it a researcher, a scholar, a teacher, a student or a casual viewer in search of knowledge.
