So I don’t forget about it by the time it’s useable….

Europeana.eu launched yesterday, and ten million hits an hour brought it down, so there’s a temporary page up for now, and apparently it won’t be back up until mid-December (ooooh, jealous of European work schedules–here, they’d work their staff half to death to get it back up in eight days) but it looks like it’s going to be interesting, perhaps even qualifying for “hella interesting”. Digital library, museum and archive, “…provides an impressive multi-lingual collection of two million books and other digitized items that were treasured in European museums and archives. This is just the beginning. By 2010 you’ll be able to find about 10 million items at this unique online library.”

Two million, more to come. Yeah, I can see this taking up several hours of my time. Input. Feeeeed me…OM NOM NOM! 😀
