[Sca-librarians] "Million Books Project" online books

[Greg Lindahl]

You may have heard about the "Million Books Project", which aims to
digitize millions of out-of-copyright books over the next couple of
years, and make them available for free on the Internet. They have
about 20,000 books scanned.

I have started an index of books within this project which are of
interest to SCAdians. This is done using some scripts similar to
my existing index of interesting books from the "Online Books Page".
So far there are 360 books on this list. It can be found at:

Alas, the metadata for this collection doesn't include any subject
info, so the list is totally unorganized. But there are some gems
hiding in there:

A History of War - The Middle Ages from the Fourth to the Fourteenth
Century by Oman, Charles

A bunch of non-Shakespearian Elizabethan drama

The Shirburn ballads, 1585-1616 by Andrew Clark

Popular Music Of The Olden Time by William Chappell

Contrapuntal Technique In The Sixteenth Century by R. O. Morris

I will update this roughly monthly.
