Now, With No Further Ado, We Present ... the Digital Public Library of America! - Rebecca J. Rosen - The Atlantic

See the full article for an interview with DPLA executive director Dan Cohen; unclear why it's "Digital Public Library of America" instead of "Digital Public Library of Earth," since it includes "archival content from all over the world"

"What is the Digital Public Library of America? What do you hope it will become?
The idea behind the Digital Public Library of America is fairly simple actually -- it is the attempt, really a large-scale attempt, to knit together America's archives, libraries, and museums, which have a tremendous amount of content -- all forms of human expression, from images and photographs, to artwork, to published material and unpublished material, like archival and special collections. We want to bring that all together in one place."
