Digital technology preserves texts, and makes them widely available

摘要

Already, 40 historic herbal texts have been digitized by the Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG), preserving more than 12,000 pages and over 1,800 illustrations. By the end of the current grant project in 2004, some 20,000 pages are expected to be captured and archived in its online database. Here is a list of some of the remarkable books that are being preserved for the future by the MBG.
