From Information Today NewsBreaks:
Digitizing archival treasures to allow wider access has become a major strategy in many organizations, and the venerable Library of Congress has just put itself at the forefront of that movement again. This past Saturday, April 12, LC launched a massive new project called the Library of Congress Experience; it was 3 years in the making. It's partly about putting more exclusive LC content online, but there's a lot more to it than that. Much of the content in the Experience is not only newly digitized, but it is also accessible in new and exciting ways, both in person and online.
