MHS (MB Historical Soc.) Digital Book Project

[LilZebra]

This is from the March/April 2007 edition of the Manitoba Historical Society newsletter:

An MHS project to digitize a collection of historically significant books, and make them freely available on our web site, was featured in the 2006 Annual Report of the Winnipeg Foundation. When unveiled later this year, the collection will include fully-searchable versions of such books as Ten Years in Winnipeg (Begg & Nursey), Both Sides of Manitoba (Galbraith), Reminiscences of a Raconteur (Hamm), Extraordinary Tales From Manitoba History (Chafe), and The Assiniboine Basin (Kavangh). Another part of the project will be two color (sic) features in upcoming issues of Manitoba History - the first time that color has been used in our journal. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Winnipeg Foundation for this project.
