Through the Digitizing American Imprints project, Internet Archive staff members such as Fran Akers, above, scan books from the Library’s General Collections that were printed before 1923. Working at scanning stations in the Library’s Adams Building, they each produce 500 digital images an hour. The high-resolution digital books are then stored on network servers in California and made available online at www.archive.org within 72 hours of scanning. - Gail Fineberg
