Google to Provide Photographs of Iraq Museum Collection
Good news from Iraq! (Yes, that’s right: Good news from Iraq!) Google has embarked on a project to put images of the Iraq national museum collection online to make it accessible to people all over the world.
“I can think of no better use of our time and our resources than to make the images and ideas from [Iraqi] civilization, from the very beginnings of time, available to billions of people worldwide,” declares Google chief Eric Schmidt.
About 5,000 of the 15,000 treasures the museum once held have been recovered.
I am thankful for Garrett sharing this news.
(How can I get a job with a cool project like that?)
