Dana Sutton's AN ANALYTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ON-LINE NEO-LATIN TEXTS
https://www.philological.bham.ac.uk/bibliography/
deserves a few more words. He's been compiling it for almost 9
years, originally at his home institution, Univ. of California
Irvine, and then under the auspices of the University of Birmingham,
UK when the University of California (to its shame) stopped providing
the website. He's very responsive to corrections, suggestions, and
additions.

The links are to freely accessible digitized Neo-Latin works (25,000+
now). So books on a subscription-only database like Early English
Books On-Line are not included. The range of authors, subjects, and
publishing dates is enormous. In addition to primary sources, it
includes lots of 17-19th C scholarship done in Latin.

The project is so important to my own research (early modern science
and medicine) that the URL is bookmarked right at the top of my
browser's favorites list. I just checked its updates of recently
added authors and works
(https://www.philological.bham.ac.uk/bibliography/new.html) and found
2 works by Conrad Gesner that I hadn't known about. I find myself
recommending the site to fellow scholars in many fields every week.

I agree with Klaus Graf that anyone planning to create a database of
early Latin imprints (which would certainly be useful) ought to start
by talking with Prof. Sutton.

"LAC is committed to making as much of its collection as possible available online. LAC has determined that genealogical records are a priority." LAC will cooperate with The Generations Network (TGN) to digitize genealogical records. The images will be "available at no charge on the website(s) of LAC."

Scopus' new free service TopCited was mentioned by Gavin Baker, the new "adlatus" (or "famulus" like Wagner ...) of Peter Suber's Open Access News.

In summa: Open Access works. All 20 Top articles are available OA! I would like to suggest that they are top-cited because they are OA ...

"Stockholm's Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts is seeking a benefactor who will buy its most famous painting and leave it hanging in the National Museum.

The academy is offering Rembrandt's The Conspiracy of the Batavians under Claudius Civilis for 300 million kronor ($48.7 million Cdn), a discount from the $120-million estimated value of the painting."

https://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/11/news/Rembrandt-Painting.php

"The buyer, however, must agree to donate the masterpiece to Stockholm's Nationalmuseum, where it is one of the main attractions, said Olle Granath, permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts."

This book is about how the French governments of the nineteenth century dealt with the collections left behind by the revolution. What did they choose to preserve, or ignore? How did they distinguish between the authentic sources of national history and the irrelevant debris of a bygone age? How did they organize the materials they did deem relevant into a national network of libraries and archives?

A print copy can be made from the electronic (or print) version
of a journal article or book chapter and then that copy can be
mailed, faxed or scanned into Ariel (or a similar system) as
means of delivery to the borrowing library. What is not
permitted is to download the electronic version and send it
without printing.

In Germany Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart has added Lessig's "Free Culture" in 2004 to its repository.

To add one more coda, the early edition of the Warden, which luckily I have cached, appears to disappeared from the "collection". It does strike me as a slight challenge for those trying to use Google as a
corpus that items not only come but also go unannounced.
