It will be a special moment when one of the “fathers’ of the Internet meets some of the “grandfathers."

Two years ago, Google struck a partnership with the Mundaneum to support the archive’s exhibitions, conferences, and other activities. Since then, the relationship has bloomed.

The Ghent University’s library owns a linguistic treasure trove of centuries-old books in English, French, German and Dutch. As a Google book partner , we have scanned more than 200,000 of the library’s out of copyright works. Works that once were relegated to hard-to-reach library shelves and received only an occasional reader now get more than than 100,000 views each day on the Net. That’s quite an achievement for a father of the Internet to celebrate.Posted by William Echikson, Head of Data Centre Community Relations, Europe.
