British Library Puts 200 Million Newspaper Pages Online

Our Comments

Is the British library trying to get a revenue stream by putting this content online? Last year, Google launched a newspaper digitisation project which spawn the Google Newspaper Archive website which is supported by Google adwords and offers the possibility to viewers to purchase the individual newspapers. Will the British Library share the content with Google for the greater good?
