The Latin American Microform Project (LAMP) at the Center for Research
Libraries received funds in 1994 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to
explore aspects of digitization from microfilm. Working in cooperation with
the Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, LAMP selected its collection of
Brazilian government documents because of their scarcity, importance, and
volume. Completed in December 2000, the project digitized more than 670,000
page images of government publications, freely available over the Web. The
detailed final report may be found on http://www.crl.edu/content.asp?
