Building the online library

Turning the Pages™ 2.0 is a toolkit that allows libraries and museums to put entire collections of books online in a compelling 3D environment, with a suite of useful tools to aid learning.

"Developed with the British Library, it is available as a service for institutions and private collectors around the world. It's a true next-generation web application, taking advantage of the latest web technologies. Click here to find out more, or here to see it in action.

On 30th January 2007 we launched Turning the Pages™ 2.0 at the Windows Vista launch event. Bill Gates took the stage with Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive of the British Library, to compare his Leonardo Codex Leicester to the British Library's Codex Arundel - the codices reunited for the first time in almost 500 years."
