AmericanSouth.Org is an o­n-going project undertaken at Emory University in collaboration with a large number of Southern research libraries that seeks to improve access to digital resources. Put simply, AmericanSouth harvests metadata, or information about information, from an amalgam of library and museum archives, pulling this metadata into a central location for aggregation, indexing, search, and discovery. The resulting digital library collection enables a researcher to conduct a combined search of the materials held by many different institutions.

The Ewell Sale Stewart Library of the Academy of Natural Sciences houses many rare, beautiful, and important works on the natural sciences, books that most people will never see in their lifetimes. These books were published over the last five centuries, and document the discovery of plant and animal species by early explorers as they traveled the world. By publishing the pages from these books digitally and providing access on the web, the Library hopes to share them with scientists, scholars, and the public.
