While the British Museum already has a number of online digital archives, it appears to be on the way to surpass its prodigious online collections with the Collect Britain Web site. The digitization project (which went online in May 2003) is the largest to date, as it contains over 100,000 images and sounds culled from the museum's holdings. The homepage has three main sections: Collections, Virtual Exhibitions, and Themed Tours. The Collections section contains 14 separate collections (all of which are scheduled to be online by early 2004), covering such topics as street maps, images of Victorian Britain, illustrated sheet music for piano, and 150 hours of rare early wax cylinder recordings dating from 1898 to 1941. Currently, the Virtual Exhibitions area has one fine exhibit, Literary Landscapes, that explores the regional setting and context from which various English authors derived their primary inspiration. Here visitors can learn about Geoffrey Chaucer's Kent, the Lake District that was much loved by Wordsworth, and of course, Sir Walter Scott's Highlands. Finally, the Themed Tours section currently allows visitors to take a multimedia tour of London's old East End. If visitors wish to be informed of the site's progress, they have the opportunity to sign up to receive email updates as well.
