IT and Libraries: Coutts Library in Canada to digitize old textbooks used in Alberta schools from 1885 to 1985

The H. T. Coutts Education Library will digitize old Alberta textbooks, some of which are over 130 years old, to help improve their accessibility.

The library will digitize the first phase of the collection of books that were used in Alberta schools from 1885 to 1985. 

The next step for the digitized collection will be to incorporate the digital copies into the library website catalogue, making them easier to find. They are currently available only on the Internet Archive website.
