Look at this fantastic site www.wdl.org
The World digital library has stated
that its mission is to promote international and intercultural understanding,
expand the volume and variety of cultural content on the Internet, provide
resources for educators, scholars, and general audiences, and to build capacity
in partner institutions to narrow the digital divide within and among countries. It aims to expand non-English and
non-western content on the Internet, and contribute to scholarly research.
It contains maps, texts, photos, recordings and
films of all time and explainations of each of these jewels and cultural relics of all libraries of the world in seven languages.
The project
has been coordinated by Abdelaziz Abid, and UNESCO and 32 countries have
participated in its confection. Among the ancient documents are some pre-Columbian
codexes, thanks to the contribution of Mexico, and the first map of America,
drawn by Diego Gutiérrez for the King of Spain in 1562, explained Abid. The treasures
include the Hyakumanto Darani, a Japanese document published in year 764 and
considered the first printed text of history; works of Arab scientists which show the
mystery of algebra; bones used as oracles; the Gutenberg’s Bible…
ENJOY IT!
