Views of Gutenberg Bible
Google has digitized millions of print books already, but some old manuscripts, like The Gutenberg Bible, need a very special treatment.
The 700-year manuscript is not only the most precious cultural heritage. It’s also a fragile volume only a limited number of people can access without making a damage.
It’s digitization that can let millions of people look inside The Gutenberg Bible or The Little Prince. Since the books are available online as digital files, it’s safe to look at them millions of times.
A special, very advanced technology, is used to preserve old manuscripts in a digital form. Phase One is the cultural heritage digitization solution that includes reprographic camera systems, scanners, and film scanning kits.
