The British Library is working with Microsoft and imaging company Content Conversion Specialists (CCS) on a massive book digitisation project.
Over a period of two years, around 100,000 books from the British Library's nineteenth century literature collection will be made available on its online catalogue and Microsoft's Live Search Books, and silicon.com paid a visit to the digitisation studio at the British Library in London.
When the imaging team is running at full capacity it processes one and half trolleys of books - like the one above - per day.
