To follow up on the digitisation of the movies from
the Société des Films Albatros among others,
La Cinémathèque française continues to digitise its
most precious collections.
Today, La Cinémathèque française announces the
release of two new digital online collections:
First, the laterna magica website, which
features around 1,500 digitised magic lantern slides
from the collections of the Royal Polytechnic Institution
and of the “Life models” type.
Second, the digital library of cinema, where rare
books from the Will Day collection as well as titles collected
by Henri Langlois himself and his close colleague Lotte Eisner
can be consulted.
These websites will be updated as from the end of 2009 with
new digitised collections.
Fantastic. I am bowled over by the sheer extent of the digital library of cinema - it's almost too much to take in. Thanks for the alert - now to blog on it myself.
