hello all,
The State Library of Victoria has a nice interactive site for viewing
gems from its book collection:
http://www.mirroroftheworld.com.au
You can zoom in on a page to really get the detail. Sort of like how
you can page through, zoom in on, reverse images of, hear texts of/
commentaries on book treasures at the British Museum exhibit with
their stunning Turning the Pages presentation (warning, this gets
addictive):
http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html
My question: is there anything like this available, or being
developed, for Russian books/manuscripts? Something more than just
static digital images? Given the state of archival/bibliographic/
library financing in post-Soviet Russia I know it's sort of a stupid
question, but...
Thanks,
Annie
