Google To Give $3 Million to Library of Congress

This via Cnet:

"The Library of Congress is expected to announce Tuesday a $3 million gift from Google to help the library begin building a World Digital Library, a project that aims to digitize and place on the Web significant primary materials from national libraries and other institutions worldwide."

I don't know about you, but the Library of Congress is absolutely one of my favorite sites. Here's a few highlights:

• American Memory: Features topics such as Immigration, Folklife, Native American History, and This Day in History, among others.
• Thomas: "In the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, legislative information from the Library of Congress."
• Library of Congress Poetry: This truly is an undiscovered gem. You'll find all sorts of good poetry here.
