    OKC is a collaborative effort to "make the record of human knowledge" inclusive. They plan to do this by digitizing printed or physical artifacts in libraries and creating an online collection. It talks about the issues libraries face, such as funding for digitization, and attempt to rectify the issues with the libraries. This page also includes projects OKC suports and is contributing to, such as the Wikipedia Gateway Project. It promotes collaboration between libraries and cultural centers and advocates for the smaller 'non-commercial players.' Their greatest interest concerning technology, is to attempt to advance and integrate existing technical architecture.

    The MHL's focus is to digitize and make available a large scale collection of rare medical journals, books, articles, and films. Their goal is to make it a free, open access journal of historical, established, and highly-qualified medical material to advance contemporary understanding of the medical field along with common knowledge of humanity. A majority of the contributors are university libraries, including Harvard an Yale. It is not a forum to publish current or contemporary research and articles.
