From Library Journal:

This sounds interesting:

The Library of Congress (LC) said this week that the World Digital Library (WDL) , an online partnership between LC, UNESCO, and 32 partner institutions to share cultural materials, will launch on April 21. A reception will be held that day at UNESCO’s Paris headquarters for partners and other special guests attending the semi-annual meeting of UNESCO’s executive board.

LC officials said the first edition of the site will include a wealth of manuscripts, maps, rare books, films, sound recordings, and prints and photographs, all available free to the public, browseable and searchable in seven languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish) but with content offerings in “dozens of languages.”
