World Digital Library Project gets Google funding

The Library of Congress has accepted a $3-million gift from Google to build the World Digital Library, a project to digitize and make web-accessible "significant primary materials" (feel free to define that however you wish) big-name worldwide libraries.  The good ol' LoC will need more funding to complete the project.  Apparently 3 mill is a drop in the bucket.
