The Universidad Complutense Madrid (https://www.ucm.es) has become the first library in continental Europe and in a non-English speaking country to join the 2-year-old Google Book Search program. With 3 million volumes, the Complutense Library is the second largest in Spain, following only the National Library. This addition will greatly expand Google Book Search’s Spanish language holdings, but the library also has holdings in French, German, Latin, Italian, and English, writes Susanne Bjørner at
https://www.infotoday.com/newsbreaks/nb061009-1.shtml

Though significant, the Complutense project is not the first large digitization project to make Spanish literature freely available. The article mentions the Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes (https://www.cervantesvirtual.com) but the following list can demonstrate that Spanish Rare book libraries are in Europe the leaders of mass digitizations of old books.
