Vitrual History

Recently I have been looking over various sites of libraries and archives with digital exhibitions.
One of the cooler things I have found is the Mitchell Library's website. William Bligh's logbook is on this site, and the technology is great fun; just turn the pages!

Enjoy Libraries! And a Merry Christmas to all!
