Project Description
The Universal Library Project seeks to facilitate the transport of all authored works to the Internet and to find ways to provide free or nearly free access to these works by anyone in the world.
A recent Universal Library project is to have every Church in North America, and later the world, put up their weekly church bulletins on the web. This requires seeking methods of enhancing bulletin information value by marking up the bulletins for useful search. We have over 100,000 churches with editors now, and this about 1/3 of the way.
