http://reason.com/reasontv/2013/03/05/amateur-beats-gov-at-digitizing-newspapeDer Artikel schildert detailliert Entstehung und Zweck vonhttp://www.fultonhistory.comOne computer expert working alone has built a historic newspaper site that's orders of magnitude bigger and more popular than one created by a federal bureaucracy with millions of dollars to spend. Armed only with a few PCs and a cheap microfilm scanner, Tom Tryniski has played David to the Library of Congress’ Goliath.Tryniski's site, which he created in his living room in upstate New York, has grown into one of the largest historic newspaper databases in the world, with 22 million newspaper pages. By contrast, the Library of Congress' historic newspaper site, Chronicling America, has 5 million newspaper pages on its site while costing taxpayers about $3 per page.Einmal mehr zeigt sich, dass man bei der Digitalisierung riesige Geldmittel mit wenig Ertrag verbuttern kann.(Danke an HS)
