The Internet Archive Keeps Book-Scanning Free
In the race to digitize all recorded information, the Internet Archive is using its labor-intensive scanning technique to preserve the tomes of the public domain.
The book to be scanned sits in front of a technician underneath a V-shaped glass platter. Two opposing cameras angled at each page take photos of the book. On screen is the multipage view that the operator uses to verify the quality of the scans and the book's pagination.Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.com
