Product description
Developed to bring our “treasures” to life on the Internet, Turning the Pages has quickly become one of the British Library’s most popular online resources. Built on groundbreaking 3-D technology, it has allowed us to build online replicas of rare treasures such as The Sherbourne Missal, Lindisfarne Gospels and Leonardo da Vinci’s Notebook and make them available to the World through the Web. With Turning the Pages 2.0, you can now license the software to make your own significant printed materials accessible through the web.
