News from the National Digital Library: Reuters Donates $1 Million to Digitize Presidential Papers

摘要

Exactly 207 years after Washington's inauguration in 1789, Reuters America Inc. and The Reuter Foundation, during an April 30 news conference, donated $1 million to the Library's National Digital Library (NDL) Program specifically for the digitization of the papers of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. The project will make it possible, for the first time, to place unique presidential manuscripts from the Library on-line.
