The museum is a strong supporter of The
Internet Archive and has been scanning and uploading its library over the
last few years. It is only 50% finished because of recent
acquisitions from General Electric and generous donations from private
collectors. It has been a huge undertaking, considering the
"curator" is currently the only employee. In recent
years I've scanned and uploaded more than 250,000 pages at high resolution
600 dpi colour. Many of these books were banned or are the last
surviving copies. It has been a mission of the museum to preserve
this knowledge in the best quality possible for future generations at any
cost. This has been a motto since the beginning 28 years ago.
In addition to scanning historical texts, the museum also regularly
compiles and publishes books and articles - many of which can be found
below. (Please credit the museum with any information used on this
website or from The Internet Archive.)
In addition to books that have fallen out of copyright, the library at the
museum contains many modern books which cannot be archived. These
however can be seen in person when visiting the museum.
